House Changes Rules to Protect DeLay
(AP) - House Republicans approved a party rules change Wednesday

that could allow Majority leader Tom DeLay to retain his leadership

post if he is indicted by a Texas grand jury

on state political corruption charges.

By a voice vote, and with a handful of lawmakers voicing opposition,

the House Republican Conference decided that a party committee of several

dozen members would review any felony indictment of a party leader

and recommend at that time whether the leader should step aside.

Both the BBC and PBS radio had some strong words about this CIA thing
tonight... they both also carried interviews with "interned" prisoners in US
jails which are being paid by Ze Homeland Zecurity to keep these 'detainees'
in custody. Of course they won't let them go, they'll lose their little bonus
money.

The law that will indemnify republicans from having to face charges when
accused, started out here in Texas to protect those who managed to pass
a redistricting plan which shuffled representation to favor republicans,
winning them several new seats. They've been accused of fraud, conspiracy
and other charges, and most likely will get away uncontested.

How about that latest cabinet appointee.... GW's long-time personal lawyer,
and most recently, president of legalized gambling addiction here in Texas...
The Texas Lottery. Wow.. what a choice. :-\

"Condi Rice" can replace Colin Powell ??!!?? Sheesh...

With all these people stepping down from the CIA and the Cabinet, does no
one really see what is happening yet ?

AAAAAAaaaaargh....


(Sorry Ty, I had to say it).

Yes they are shoreing up thier own to allow party faithful to remain in
power even when indited on grevious felony charges

They are calling it a "partisan witch hunt" by the Democratic DA in Travis County, Texas.

They overlook the fact that this DA has been in office since the early '70s and indicted a whole passel of Democratic politicians during the late '70s and early '80s (when the Dems were in power in TX.)




makes one proud to have such noble republican leaders who modify rules
to protect themselves from those silly laws us unwashed have to follow

The rule was put in place by Republicans to take out Democrats under indictment at the time (Whitewater, etc.)

Fortunaly the rule of law is blind to political party, in theory

But theory doesn't count for much when the highest court consists mostly of
judges appointed by the party that is breaking the law.

I heard a report today that said this is a Senate agreement..not a law..and the
Republicans have it and the Dems bnever adopted a similar rule don't..so really
it is setting things equal...if the report is true.

I'm hip to all the bad check writing, parking and speeding violations, etc.,
but Fraud and Conspiracy... I think that's taking it pretty far over the edge.
