Tx. Supreme Court Justices in hot water - organized effort to bring them down?

[Dover]

Wow, is there an organized effort to bring down the Tx. Supremes?
Seems like suddenly the dirt is being exposed.

Texas Supreme Court Justice Nathan Hecht says he used campaign cash to pay for dozens of flights to his hometown last year, because he was campaigning.

Republican Hecht, who has a house in the Dallas area, is not up for re-election until 2012.

Hecht reported 48 payments to airlines for in-state trips last year. The justice Wednesday acknowledged "a good bit" of them were for travel to Carrollton.

Using political contributions for personal use is against state law.

Texas Watch plans to file a complaint with the Texas Ethics Commission.

Hecht last year successfully fought a judicial sanction that alleged he abused his office to promote Harriet Miers for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court...cont'd

If guilty this would likely tarnish their reputations but legally would only result in
reimbursement of funds they used.

3. AND some guy just got Gov. "Good Hair" Perry's emails opened to the public

through the open records act. Don't know what dirt they will reveal, and his office is withholding some. But it does seem like a siege going on in Texas, eh? Death by a thousand cuts.
At the very least it ought to keep them busy.
