#1 so Judge-shopped in the most liberal County? Same County that did the witch-hunt on Perry, Tom Delay, and kept Rosemary "Do you know *hic* WHO I am? I know people!" Lehmberg in power?

#2 What's up with all these politicians doing what they said they'd do? What ever happened to useless posturing? It's like the whole world has gone mad.

#6 The rest of us refer to it as 'The People's Republic of Travis County'. Thick with federal offices, thanks to LBJ, not to mention UT.
FYI in Texas, the County Judge is not courtroom figure; they're the head of the county commissioners.

#7 There is a clear problem with the cost of unfunded federal mandate here

There may be a problem, but refusal isn't couched in terms of protesting an "unfunded mandate".
