Amazing the impression honest reporting can give.
I can't wait for those liberal judges to be hauled in front of Congress. Go Tom Go!
Question, if I may. I recall reading that part of the reason the Dems feel that Delay is vulnerable is because in the 2004 election, his vote % went down..he won 54-46..was this as a result of the redistricting the GOP put through..was DeLay's dsitrict weakened for the GOP in order to shore up the adjacant districts?
DeLay is a national treasure; our treasure.

DeLay's current district is about 40-43% Dem and about 57% Republican after redistricting. He gave up some good conservative area to help with redistricting instead of playing safe for his own welfare. (SURPRISING PHILOSOPHY FOR A POLICITIAN BUT NOT FOR A TRUE LEADER).
He got about 55% in the last election because the liberal teachers unions and some minorities went against him and the Houston Chronicle (NY TIMES SOUTHWEST) along with a local weekly rag edited by the woman who was on ABC Nightline smeared him on a daily basis with the same kind of crap they are trying to pull now. The woman editor is a Republican Precinct Chair who was censured by the County Executive Committee for her attacks and also has bragged she voted for Clinton and Perot in the past. She is tied in with several RINO's who want DeLay's job and is trying to soften him up.
Has he said they will be hauled in front of Congress?

This provision for the support of the judges bears every mark of prudence and efficacy; and it may be safely affirmed that, together with the permanent tenure of their offices, it affords a better prospect of their independence than is discoverable in the constitutions of any of the States in regard to their own judges.
The precautions for their responsibility are comprised in the article respecting impeachments. They are liable to be impeached for malconduct by the House of Representatives, and tried by the Senate; and, if convicted, may be dismissed from office, and disqualified for holding any other. This is the only provision on the point which is consistent with the necessary independence of the judicial character, and is the only one which we find in our own Constitution in respect to our own judges.
The want of a provision for removing the judges on account of inability has been a subject of complaint. But all considerate men will be sensible that such a provision would either not be practiced upon or would be more liable to abuse than calculated to answer any good purpose. The mensuration of the faculties of the mind has, I believe, no place in the catalogue of known arts. An attempt to fix the boundary between the regions of ability and inability, would much oftener give scope to personal and party attachments and enmities than advance the interests of justice or the public good. The result, except in the case of insanity, must for the most part be arbitrary; and insanity, without any formal or express provision, may be safely pronounced to be a virtual disqualification
This quote is by James Madison from Federalist paper#79 so
Tom DeLay is within the law to call for investigations of the judges involved in Terri's case and if misconduct is found then they CAN be impeached and removed.

Thanks for the ping, tutstar. Tom Delay is as popular as he is hated. Just an entirely different group of Americans as regards the popularity or the hatred. His popularity is concentrated in his congressional district. As a national figure, he is as villified as Newt was.
Judge Greer should be impeached. Considering his crazy rulings, it is mind-boggling that Jeb Bush and other in power have let him get away with it.
Someone please explain this to me. How is this guest worker farce "for those who come here legally"? I thought the ones who are here legally stood in line and waited their turn, they did not jump the border. I'm not buying it Tom and neither is the majority of the country. How can he advocate reigning in judges whose rulings don't reflect the will of the people while backing the illegal infiltration of our country. Tom, law-abiding Americans won't be taken for fools by the judiciary or you.
YOU BETCHA!!!! GO TOM!!!!!!!!!!
DeLay made a special mention of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court in California, that is in favor of taking God out of the Pledge of Allegiance and said the House adopted a bill to break that court into two and make the meet in Guam.I like it! hahaha!
DeLay tackles 'liberal media,
out of control judges' in home turf Great article!
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.
No, you don't HAVE to be a Texan to get on this list!
