Here we go again, first "Stephen King" Libby gets himself a biased judge and now Delay gets one too. The original judge was asked to recuse himself from the case after promptings from Delay's defense. This so Tommy Boy could receive a "fair" trial, they argued. There's no justice anymore.......none at all. At least when it comes to elected officials like these guys. The average person would never be granted this kind of special treatment.
DeLay gets new judge in Texas case
quote:
A judge presiding over the money laundering and conspiracy case involving U.S. Republican Rep. Tom DeLay, one America's most powerful politicians, was ordered to step aside on Tuesday after DeLay's attorneys said the judge was too staunchly Democrat to give a fair trial.
State District Judge Bob Perkins will be replaced by another judge to be named by a regional administrator without input from either side in the politically charged case.
quote:
"We're not saying that Judge Perkins is a bad judge or an unfair judge. What we are saying is this is the wrong case for him to judge," DeGuerin said.
They're admitting that he's a reputable, qualified person here. So what's the reason then? Because they don't have a hand in his pocket, they need a judge that can be bought off. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to ask for a "better" judge every time you get tried for something? "How about that guy that donated thousands to my campaign last year, he ought to be good".

Fox News Paid for DeLay's Travel
quote:
Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) "filed a report with the Clerk of the House of Representatives indicating he received free travel valued at $13,998.55 from Fox News Sunday for 'officially connected travel' on October 1-2, 2005, from Sugarland, TX to Washington, D.C. and back to Sugarland, TX. Rep. DeLay appeared on Fox News Sunday on October 2, 2005, the weekend after his indictment on September 28, 2005."
