Sutton tag ...The rumor from Bexar is will/or not J. Sutton tag Susan Reed on his way out for the airline tickets and two judges also. Judge M. Guerro and K. Crouch both dems. Judge Guerro was recently on tv for being under ethics investigation by the state for accepting gifts from defense counsel that practice before her. (then add in the airline tickets) <BR/><BR/>Reed's driver was just indicted on the airline ticket scandal. Want a good follow up story....how many DA's in Texas have drivers???<BR/><BR/>We, here in South San Antonio, hear Bernard is getting the job. Which means Reed skates unless Sutton moves fast??? Bernard is a dem that grew up politically close to Reed. Most feel Reed needs to go down for the tickets and it will cause her to fight hard to ever win another office. The DA is now polarized from her tickets and has many items of public corruption on her plate. Will this or will this not stop Reed from doing her job??? Who Knows??<BR/><BR/>San Antonio has lots of white collar and ethics corruption....my vote would be for Hendler. If and only if he is honest and can set a standard. The FBI in SA never move on anything and we think they are brain dead and in need of guts!!!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Rumors for Royal Ferguson's Federal Bench are ....Judge Gabriel (ok),Judge Carmen Kelsey (many feel she has way to many control issues), Judge Mary Roman ( to old and to mean and nasty in her behavior towards humans), Judge Cathy Stahl (not enough time in big boy court to move up)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-27226478020256217812009-03-07T15:52:00.000-06:002009-03-07T15:52:00.000-06:00Scott Hendler would be a VERY progressive pick, es...Scott Hendler would be a VERY progressive pick, especially vis a vis going after white collar crime. That would be a very interesting choice.<BR/><BR/>In terms of a position that's supposed to go after public corruption, I would NOT think the San Antonio city attorney would be a good choice. I don't know anything about McCrum.<BR/><BR/>Are there really NO rumors about the Eastern or Southern Districts?
