That should tell you everything you need to know about the validity of the charges...
It takes 6 grand juries to find one that would indict!!!!
I had heard that David Dreier's seat was up for grabs next year...I guess his "promotion" to Majority Leader will be a "make it or break it" time...
If he does well, he shouldn't have any problems getting re-elected..
I don't think the dems in the House are going to like it...he has been head of the Rules Committee...I guess he will have to give that up???
Goes thru FIVE grand juries to find a sixth one either partisan enough or too overwhelmed to understand partisan politics.
Red flag: No there, there.
I am guessing that Dreier is moved up because they want to make it clear they think it is temporary. If it was permanent they would promote all the underlings up one.
You don't, in a temporary situation, want to promote every lower person up one, and then move them back down.
My speculation is that DeLay is going to fight the indictment directly to get it dismissed, rather than defend it.
It was interesting that they said Blount could take over SOME of the duties -- further evidence of the temporary nature.
