Fascinating, isn't it how the lawn-order Kill-their-appelate rights, and kill them, Tom Delay can have so many bites at the appelate apple before even getting to trial isn't it?
The state's highest criminal court has asked prosecutors to respond to former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's request that the charges against him be dismissed.
The all-Republican appeals court on Tuesday gave prosecutors a week to submit arguments regarding the request filed Friday by DeLay attorney Dick DeGuerin. The court will decide whether to take the case after the prosecutors' response is received.
Criminal defendants in Texas should be so lucky to get such attention from the court system there. I wonder if they would accomodate ol'Tom with such alacrity, if he were on his way to a date with the Gurney of Death in Huntsville, and were one of those minorities who took his spot in Vietnam?
Hmmm...an all-republican court hearing a Tom Delay case in Texas...gee, wonder how that's gonna go? Well, let's have some faith that they're not all Priscilla Owens and move on to the New Year...

Everyone is innocent untl proven guilty... as least they were until the neocons came to power. Delay is rich, which means he's going to be slippery. This asshole thinks he's immune form having to follow the rules. So I say fuck Tom Delay, let him rot in prison. IMPEACH BUSH NOW!
