....Sen. Burton fired back at the president and Eavenson over the comments accusing her of somehow being soft on crime because of her defense of property rights:More from Sen. Burton, who is backing a bill to reform the law: To this end, I am filing a major reform package which keeps asset forfeiture in the toolbox of law enforcement but creates reasonable protections for citizens, requires proper reporting on the use of forfeiture, and raises the legal standard for the government to engage in the taking of property. Property rights are the foundation of any free system of government, and we have allowed the government to erode them in the name of law and order. We must do better and I intend to lead the charge......http://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2017/02/08/republican-tx-state-senator-konni-burton-fires-back-at-trump-sheriff-over-civil-asset-forfeiture/
She does not mention Trump or "fires back at him" at all.
Good for her! Civil forfeiture is evil. We should be requiring convictions.
By the way, for those who don't know, Konnie Burton is the State Senator who beat Wendy Davis like a rented mule for her seat.
Ah Yes. Abortion Wendy!
