Burning down the house.

Burning down the house. If you're a Republican, and you can't make something work the way you want it to, just burn the fucking thing down:
Embattled Texas Supreme Court Justice David Medina could still avoid prosecution despite being indicted with his wife yesterday on arson-related charges.

Medina was indicted yesterday by a Harris County grand jury on charges of evidence tampering in a probe of a suspicious fire last June that destroyed his family home, according to local reports. His wife, Francisca, was also indicted on arson charges. [...]

The fire caused almost $1 million in damages to Medina's and a neighboring home and injured several fire-fighters.
The scorched earth policy evidently applies to more than just Nazis.

Who appointed this bozo to the Texas bench? Duh, Governor George W. Bush.

And, double-duh, "Medina has no plans to resign his seat on the Texas Supreme Court."
