On Tuesday, Ronnie had this to say about Texas judges...
“The law expresses no need for judges to check their citizenship at the door,” Mr. Earle argued. He called Judge Perkins's contributions “paltry, not a fraction what this defendant is capable of raising for his causes, including intimidating judges with whom he disagrees.”
Mr. Earle said that “we cannot afford to make integrity a partisan issue,” adding, “The argument made by the defendant's counsel, taken to its logical conclusion, turns us into Shiite and Sunni sectarian mobs.”
Apparently, Earle never really believed a word of that grandiose (albeit hyperbolic) speech.
Just two days later, Earle asked the Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court needs to “check his citizenship at the door”, according to this motion he filed. In it, Earle asks that Chief Justice Jefferson recuse himself from the case because Wallace Jefferson's...
“... impartiality may be reasonably questioned and he may reasonably be perceived to have a personal bias in favor of the defendant.”
So is Wallace Jefferson a Shiite or a Sunni? I don't know if that was ever decided.
