Corrupt Government Title: Queer Houston Mayor Stands Down on Subpoena after Lawlessness gets National Exposure Just two days after it was reported that city of Houston Lesbian Mayor Annise Parker and her city council had subpoenaed the sermons and communications of area pastors following the city ignoring the law regarding a citizens initiative against their lawless bathroom bill, the Mayor has stood down on her subpoena. KTRH reports: Houston Mayor Annise Parker is doing damage control after national media picked up on her subpoenas targeting local clergy who protested her equal rights ordinance. The mayor says the subpoenas were too broad, and should not have included actual sermons. Its not about what did you preach on last Sunday, Parker told reporters Wednesday. It should have been clarified, it will be clarified. Parker wasnt the only one doing damage control. City Attorney David Feldman was also in damage control mode. Feldman attempted to tell Fox News Todd Starnes that Parker knew nothing of the subpoenas until Starnes broke the story. He made no mention about not knowing about the subpoenas himself. Yet, according to the KTRH report, Feldman says he didnt review the subpoenas before they were issued. When I looked at it I felt it was overly broad, I would not have worded it that way myself, Feldman said. Its unfortunate that it has been construed as some effort to infringe upon religious liberty. Feldman is talking out of both sides of his mouth. Before he made the above statements, he told Starnes, They are not party plaintiffs, but they certainly appeared before council repeatedly regarding the ordinance and the petition. This petition was organized at the churches, he added. Thats where the organizing drive took place. Thats where rallies were held. Thats where signing parties were held. There is no question that Feldman is trying to deflect from the obvious national attention this story has brought on the city of Houston and the lawless actions of the city council and the mentally ill mayor. As was reported yesterday, area pastors openly blasted the Parker administration and the city council over what they believe are unconstitutional overreaches against them. As Bryan Fischer has pointed out, the subpoena was clearly an attempt to intimidate and interfere with the religious consciences of the pastors, who were not even a part of the lawsuit against the city. He went on to demonstrate how it was a clear abuse of power by the city in violation of the Texas Constitution. However, their backing down from their earlier subpoena (and dont tell me that Feldman and Parker didnt know what was in the subpoena), doesnt mean they are through with their attacks. They are merely regrouping for another round. It should have been clarified, it will be clarified, Parker said. Keep in mind that Parker tweeted out her threats against the pastors on Wednesday: It would be a bit comical for the pastors to throw the often touted myth of Separation of Church and State in the face of these liberals. Im anxious to see what the pulpits in Houston declare this coming Sunday. Hopefully, the spirit of the Black Robed Regiment will once again be raised and the Word of God will be proclaimed boldly and without apology. How Houstonians could bring themselves to vote for a perverted nut-case for mayor is stupefying. She can't be trusted--at all--to uphold her oath of office. I'd say she's pretty much capable of doing anything to anyone for any reason. Get rid of her now before she wreaks more damage and totally ruins Houston's reputation..
