Lehmberg, who shockingly still runs the state’s Public Integrity Unit, refused to resign from her position following her drunk driving conviction last year, forcing Texas Governor Rick Perry to use his line item veto power to cut funding to Lehmberg’s office.
(MUST WATCH ARREST VIDEOS BELOW)
Texas law, as does several other states, gives the governor the authority to use the line item veto. Perry’s using it is not an abuse of power.
It’s precious that the same people who argue that Obama’s “pen and phone,” which unconstitutionally makes laws, changes laws, and uses federal bureaucracies to commit acts of tyranny against innocent U.S. citizens (see IRS, NSA, EPA, DHS, etc.), is not an abuse of power, but potential Republican 2016 presidential candidate Perry’s using his lawful veto power is somehow an abuse of power.
Lehmberg was sentenced to 45 days in jail, but released after spending 23 days in the slammer.
Rather than do the honorable thing and resign from her position after her conviction, a special prosecutor who answers to Lehmberg is indicting Perry for trying to restore the Public Integrity Unit’s…integrity.
After the officers stopped Lehmberg from tipping over, the belligerent and clearly plastered (see 5:10 mark in first video below) Lehmberg flails her arms at the two officers, argued, “I’m fine; leave me alone. I’m not gonna fall. I just have a bad back.”

Only a few seconds prior to this explanation, Lehmberg gave the excuse that she was not able to walk the straight white line on the pavement because of a “bad hip.”
A stumbling and staggering Lehmberg told the officers she wasn’t able to properly walk the line “because it hurts.” Several times she begins attempting to walk the straight line disregarding the officer’s instructions. After finally allowing the officer to demonstrate his instructions (to put one foot in front of another) without being interrupted, she admits, “I can’t do that.”
When attempting to stand on one leg, the crocked DA almost fell over again, telling the officer, “It hurts, can’t you understand that?”
After Lehmberg tells the officer, “I can’t do that,” the officer explains that because of the fact that she failed the sobriety tests, and because of her “erratic driving,” which included her driving in the bike lane (thank God a bicyclist wasn’t in it), “going southbound in a northbound lane of traffic” it left him no choice but to arrest her. She was then handcuffed.
“This is pretty interesting. Are you going to take me to jail?” Lehmberg asks.
“Yes Ma’am,” answers the officer.
“Huh,” she responds in wonderment.
Below is footage of Lehmberg’s booking footage from the Travis County Jail. Her behavior fluctuates between being disrespectful, combative, and downcast, continually denying that she was drunk and repeatedly blaming the officers for “ruining my career.”
Shockingly, Lehmberg remains in her position today.
As disgusting as Lehmberg’s behavior was, it pales in comparison to the leftstream media’s reporting her indictment of Perry as being legitimate, a really reprehensible attempt to derail the Republicans potential 2016 presidential candidacy.
