Gee...I'm surprised nobody is raising hell about the Tom Delay debacle in Texas.

Nobody really cares.

Nobody really cares.

Really? Of course his name is mud now, But not recognizing that the entire episode was political is to be blind.

The court found rightly.

Another well-connected crook pardoned... big surprise.

It wasn't a truly major story at the time, it's not a big deal now. I'm not disagreeing with you as far what the court did or didn't do. I'm just not shocked that nobody posted this yet.

It was VERY major at the time. An innocent man was destroyed. How? Lies and distortions.

Trivial to you perhaps, but not to Delay and his family. But justice is relative in your world.

I read the decision. It is pretty clear. Delay used a middleman to subvert Texas election law. However, the appeals court decided that it knew better then a jury of Tom Delay's peers that found him guilty.

Delay and his lawyers shopped around until they found an appellate judge willing to overturn the verdict of a jury. Several recused themselves and one was removed from the case because Delay and his lawyers didn't like his personal opinion.

Just like the Democrats shopped their Grand Jury.

That's bullshit and we both know it.
-OR-
You have no idea how the jury selection process works, which is entirely possible given your misunderstanding of just about everything else.

Any blacks on that jury?

Nope.

The Democrats do what they do best. Lie, cheat and steal. In this case, they shopped around until they could find a grand jury that would convict him on no hard evidence. They didn't like being shut down by the Hammer and did whatever they could to discredit him. Boy, did he school Clinton and his thugs! Mr. Delay and the Republican Congress are the reason Clinton ended up with a surplus at the end of his term.

grand juries don't convict. they determine if there is probably cause/ the need for a trial.

fucking idiot.

go back to school.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Tom Delay is and was a world class sleazebag.

The Appeals Court decided by a one vote margin that sleaziness in and of itself was no longer subject to criminal sanction, a clear victory for the "one dolla, one vote" wing of the Supreme Court (Roberts and Alito).

This is a triumph for political sleaze in America today.

Small wonder Ishmael is celebrating.

You're a real piece of shit, aren't you? It's a fact it took Ronnie Earle eight grand juries to find one that would return an indictment. Politics much? How about you take some of your own medicine and go back to school... oh, and go fuck yourself.

Aw, somebody's butthurt.

Fun to see someone derpin' that "8 grand juries" "runaway DA" nonsense that Delay was famous for flogging.

Derrrrrp!

Stupid fucktard J-ws like you can always be counted on to find some sort of equivalency.

p.s. you forgot to remind us that Clinton got a BJ from a woman who he wasn't married to.
