    Rick Perry and the Criminalization of Politics

Texas Governor Rick Perryhas been indicted 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/16/us/gov-rick-perry-of-texas-is-indicted-over-veto-of-funds-for-das-office.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&version=HpSum&module=first-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news>for 
coercion and abuse of power in a potentially politically motivated 
prosecution for actions Perry possibly  took out of political motivation 
to shut down possible politically motivated prosecutions. Got that?

I haven't studied Texas law or the indictment closely enough yet 
(readRoss Ramsey's 
column<http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/08/15/for-rick-perry-its-not-the-crime-its-the-politics/>for 
the basics), butEugene Volokh, 
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/08/16/is-the-indictment-of-texas-gov-rick-perry-inconsistent-with-a-texas-court-of-appeals-precedent-as-to-the-coercion-count/>who 
is very careful with these thing, makes a good case that this indictment 
will not fly because the law potentially violates the First Amendment 
(by being unconstitutionally vague, unconstitutionally overbroad, or both).

Perry joins the list of other politicians prosecuted under controversial 
or dubious theories, including Tom DeLay, John Edwards,Scott Walker 
<http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2014/06/the_scott_walker_case_in_wisconsin_could_shred_the_remaining_limits_on_influencing.html>, 
Don Siegelman, and Ted Stevens. Some go to jail; some don't. Some get 
convicted by juries; some don't.  Some have their prosecutions 
overturned on appeal; some don't.

What the common thread here is the criminalization of politics. As I 
wrote aboutDeLay 
<http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2013/09/tom_delay_s_conviction_reversed_on_appeal.html>:

    Some liberals are no doubt disappointed to hear that a Texas
    appellate court today, on a 2-1 vote, reversed the conviction
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=55380> of former U.S. House Majority
    Leader Tom DeLay. They shouldn't be. There were good reasons to
    think
    <http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2012/04/john_edwards_should_not_be_prosecuted_for_campaign_finance_violations_.html> that
    DeLay's prosecution in Texas for violations of state campaign
    finance law, like the federal prosecutions of former presidential
    candidate John Edwards
    <http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2012/04/john_edwards_should_not_be_prosecuted_for_campaign_finance_violations_.html> and
    former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, involved politically motivated
    charges brought by overzealous prosecutors.

And I wrote aboutEdwards 
<http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2012/04/john_edwards_should_not_be_prosecuted_for_campaign_finance_violations_.html>:

    We don't know whether these prosecutions were politically motivated
    or not, and of course each of these defendants has every incentive
    to make such claims. But the point is that when judges allow
    prosecutors to rely on novel legal theories in these sorts of cases,
    they open up the possibility of politically motivated
    prosecutions. Better to leave the criminal cases to clear violations
    of the law, such asRep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham's yacht bribe
    <http://articles.cnn.com/2005-11-28/politics/cunningham_1_mzm-mitchell-wade-tax-evasion?_s=PM:POLITICS> or
    Rep. William Jefferson's $10,000 stash hidden in his freezer
    <http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/22/washington/22jefferson.html?_r=1%26hp%26ex=1148270400%26en=2bc01901bdbff48e%26ei=5094%26partner=homepage%26oref=slogin>.
    If prosecutors can't produce clear-cut charges, politicians and
    their campaigns should only face the potential for civil liability.

    Second, even if prosecutors are well-meaning and looking out solely
    for the public interest, there's a fundamental unfairness in
    subjecting politicians to criminal liability for uncertain
    violations of campaign finance law. The threat of criminal liability
    can ruin a political career. Look at the overreaching
    <http://articles.latimes.com/2012/mar/20/opinion/la-ed-stevens-20120320> by
    federal prosecutors in the trial of Ted Stevens; the Justice
    Department's attorneys were so hungry to get the Republican senator
    from Alaska, they withheld key exculpatory evidence from the defense.

    Thanks to expansive federal law, the threat of criminal liability
    hangs over all elected officials, federal, state, and local. As
    professors Rick Pildes and Sam Issacharoff explain in their amicus
    brief
    <http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/amicusseieglmanfinal.pdf> in
    the Siegelman case, "Federal anticorruption criminal prosecutions of
    state and local political officials have skyrocketed since the early
    1980s. Before 1980, there were never more than 200 such prosecutions
    in a single year, but since 1985, there have been more than 900
    prosecutions in a peak year and an average of more than 600."

We don't know yet whether Rick Perry violated the law and whether the 
law he is accused of violating is constitutional. But don't be too quick 
to equate an indictment with actual wrongdoing by the governor, 
regardless of your political orientation.

<http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/monkey-cage/wp/2014/08/15/how-ferguson-exposes-the-racial-bias-in-local-elections/>:

    The conflict in Ferguson, Mo., has captured the nation's attention
    and once again put race front and center in American politics. This
    piece
    <http://www.vox.com/2014/8/14/6003793/why-is-fergusons-local-government-so-white/in/5757650>,
    for instance, notes that while Ferguson is 67 percent black, five of
    the six council members and the mayor are all white. Why this
    disparity? There are two culprits: the timing of municipal elections
    and the nature of the ballot in these elections.

    election law changes" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=64352>

Dick Engstrom has writtenthis article 
<http://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/DvKH94KsurSRXG2ixbZF/full#.U--AGbxdVmk>in 
/Politics, Groups, and Identities./ Here is the abstract:

    The preclearance provision of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act was
    rendered ineffective by the United States Supreme Court in 2013 in
    /Shelby County, AL v. Holder/. This provision required federal
    review of changes in the election policies and practices of state
    and local governments with particularly bad histories of racial
    discrimination in their electoral processes. This essay identifies
    the crucial prophylactic role the provision played in preventing the
    implementation of vote denial and vote dilution practices in
    southern states. It provides an overview of the various
    reauthorizations of the provision, with particular attention to the
    latest in 2006, and a critical review of the Supreme Court's
    response to it. Special attention is devoted to the social science
    evidence relied upon by Congress in that reauthorization and by the
    Court in its response to it.
