This post is based on what I can gather from the news. Rick Perry has been indicted for abusing his power and threating a public servant by threating to use his veto power and actually vetoing the bill that he threaten to.
I never liked Rick Perry, as a person or a politician. However, the veto threat is a valid, long-held, important, and reasonable power of any executive body in the United States. It is essential power of the executive. It is an important tool to keep powers separate. If that is his only crime then the charges should be dropped.
