Woo hoo! The other poster boy for GOoPer corruption is back on the ticket for the November election! The appellate court in New Orleans is putting his name back on the ballot. So now the King of Korruption is back to do battle once more.

A federal appeals court panel on Thursday refused to let Texas Republicans replace Tom DeLay's name on the November congressional ballot.
...
While the U.S. Constitution requires a candidate to live in-state, the question is where he is residing on Election Day, not now, the three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said.

"Proof of DeLay's present residency may suggest where he will be in the future; however, it does not put the matter beyond dispute or question," the opinion said.
...
If the Republican Party chairman decides to appeal, the matter could be directed to the full appeals court or the U.S. Supreme Court.

Thomas: "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

Scalia: "Wherefore and forthwith be it hereby resolved that whatever needs to be done to fight the war on Terra™ shall henceforth be done, Mr Delay will keeping you off the ballot further those ends? Then so be it!" After which he breaks into song - "Opus Dei-o, Opus Dei-o Armageddon's comin' 'n' me wanna go home!"

Alito: "Mr Delay is rich and therefore deserves whatever leeway we can give him to make a better life for himself and his family, again, I say Mr. Delay is wealthy and white, therefore I like him and rule in his favor, no matter what the question"

Roberts: "I agree with Mr Justice Alito. I like rich, conservative, corporately-connected guys and that RNC guy just doesn't call me anymore"

Kennedy: "Ah fuck it, I'm too old for this, heads he stays, tails he goes"

And so goes the Republic for repubicans.
