Playing with fire ... and taking a chance on getting burnt?
Texas Supreme Court Chief Wallace Jefferson has issued a statement assuring fellow justice David Medina and his wife, who lost their Houston area home to suspected arson (not to mention foreclosure), of the Court's sympathy and suggesting he will seek devine intervention to dispel the clouds. ¡Dios mío! With devout and loyal fellow Republicans like that - not to mention prayer companions - who needs a friendly DA to undo the grand jury's work?

STATEMENT FROM CHIEF JUSTICE WALLACE B. JEFFERSON
ADDRESSING REPORTED INDICTMENT OF JUSTICE MEDINA
The Court is dismayed by news that Justice Medina may have been indicted. Obviously the Court cannot comment on pending litigation more than to express our confidence that the justice system will sort this out. As for Justice Medina and his wife, Francisca, and the entire Medina family, they remain in our prayers.
Comment:
Meanwhile, a prominent appellate advocate and Texas Supreme Court blogger has expressed more secular sympathy for the "undeniably tragic situation" afflicting the Medina family. Unless there is just smoke and no fire, the tragedy - if any - would appear to be self-inflicted.
