The Quorum Report has brought us gleeful news today. Remember how I told you about how Rick Perry was trying to force the beleaguered Travis County DA to resign so he could appoint one of his buddies to the job who would then shut down public integrity investigations of his other buddies?

Well, it appears that I’m not the only one who thinks that is extortion.

The campaign finance watchdog group Texans for Public Justice announced today that it has filed an official complaint with the Travis County District Attorney and County Attorney, asking them to look into whether Gov. Rick Perry broke the law in threatening to veto funding for the Public Integrity Unit unless Travis County DA Rosemary Lehmberg resigns her job.

Texans for Public Justice sent a letter contending that Rick Perry broke the damn law with that little stunt.

They say the Governor engaged in official oppression, coercion of a public servant and abuse of official capacity. In Texas, that’s called Tuesday.
