Would you care to extend your comment to explain to an aussie why you sound so certain of that?

The majority of Republicans felt they were burned by passing federal legislation to give the de novo review. The American people, in every poll taken since the vote, opposed it.

I doubt DeLay has more than 100 votes in the GOP House for going after these judges. Without the votes, it's not going to happen.

That's to say nothing of the Senate, where any impeachments would be dead on arrival.

Well, why don't we all just wither up and die? It sounds to me like DeLay has the leadership capacity to stir up a few votes, and maybe even to get Americans to see this whole situation a little more clearly.

In case you don't realize it, that's why the Dems are already out there trying to do a Gingrich on him.

Thank you for your reply. It would seem then that the American justice system will forever remain blighted - unless the details of this grotesque issue is widely disseminated. The MSM won't do it, but trust me, the Net will!

"The American people, in every poll taken since the vote, opposed it."

Why? Because the MSM presented Terri as 'the brain-dead woman who is fighting for the right to die' ?

Welcome to the New World order a la Scientology, eugenics as espoused by the Third Reich. The 'American People' will have cause for huge regret. Your MSM reminds me of the Volkische Beobachter.

It appears that the grant of de novo review might be close to a slam dunk as being held unconstitutional based on reading Birch's opinion on the 11th circuit. I don't know enough to have my own opinion, but in the face of that, the impeachment thing is going nowhere. Well, it was going nowhere anyway. Delay is just throwing red meat at the wolves. The ethics charges against Delay appear to be serious based on my reading of a WSJ editorial blasting Delay on the matter. I suspect he is going the way of Newt, and in the not too distant future. Thank heavens he is not Speaker, or he really would reap substantial dividends for the Dems.
