Mark Levin on DeLay

National Review Online ^ | 9/28/05 | Mark R. Levin

First of all, who doesn't want the party cleaned up?

This is about the law, not Tom Delay. Some of us are well aware that Delay is not Mr. Clean of the party.

It's like Roberts trying to explain to Biden, Kennedy, Chuckie, Leahy and Feinstein... the law; Not how do I feel, I don't think we should or a woman has the right to, if it were your child, but they're immigrants... They don't get it... it's law period. You can have a fresh corpse in an alley with a man standing over her... blood on him and it happened three minutes ago, unless you link him definitively (with evidence, he could have tried to save her), he goes free. The proof of indictment has to be there, not implied... with evidence, and it's not.

Some think I am a lesbian because they haven't seen me dating or a man at my house for ten years (outside of friends of course, nothing serious)... not guilty, i'm a widow and can't quite see my kids or my youngest who is multiply-disabled (13 operations so far), with a stepfather... and I wouldn't feel like a true wife with all I have on my plate.

It's like the rapist or murderer that gets off on a technicality... but the opposite. They want him out of the way, regardless of what he's done before (and not excusing him by any means), so he's out of the way. They are so arrogant, they didn't do it correctly... they couldn't because they had no proof. Think of it this way... the judge that Peter Paul brought his case of Hillary and the illegal contributions (we at FR have the documents, plain as day...true), yet the judge (we find out he's associated with the Clintons, he's not removed), finds Hillary not guilty. Now if Hillary's friend the judge did DeLay's case, what would he find (evidence or no)?

Besides Rush, Tony Snow et al, the NY Post and NY Sun will help ... and then there's Drudge.

...and us, too! Don't forget 'Rathergate!'

[hummingbird]

Got news for you. They have taken over.

As the great actor, Jack Palance one said:

HE WAS. When he said: "he know that indictments can be vague, but it would be nice if SOMETHING was in the indictment" I LOL!

[CyberAnt]

Well .. he didn't say that on FOX earlier .. but maybe he will appear on O'Reilly (because of the large audience), and say it again.

The DNC's lead Austin appuratchik, the Earle of Ronnie, commits these indictments "under color of law", a felony, but who shall indict him and the conspiring Politburo?

On Ronnie Earle Raising Money For Democrats. [add here other information]

[Loud Mime]

---That is not rule of law, it is more like the SS.---

For years I have insisted that the democrats hate the republicans like the nazis hated the jews.

[Cboldt]

That part of the indictment is NOT a charge. It is a statement necessary to establish jurisdiction of the court and it says that Delay let them bring the indictment AFTER the deadline (statute of limitations) had expired.

And that is weird too. He can waive a law? Does the Texas statute of limitations say the statute can be waived by a defendant? Could a defendant waive the statute from 3 years to 30 years?

Hi. I made illegal campaign contributions 30 years ago, and now waive the statute of limitations that would otherwise work to keep this stale case out of court. Please prosecute me."

[BIRDS]

Delay IS representing border security, however, and has been one of the very few voices among the legislature who has spoken sense and reason to the various objectionable "guest worker" programs being pursued.

I think David Dreier is among those in CA who would morethanlikely endorse enthusiastically one of the guest worker programs -- my deduction only, not anything he's said/written but my guess only given Dreier's very strong support of CAFTA.

[jw777]

does anyone have information on Earles political constributions?

[marta R]

You mean like Sandy Berger?

That is exactly my point the democrats, they hate us so much that they would rather put up with criminals, deviants, and degenerates than grant us a win, by having one of their members resign for bad behavior. In the final analysis, it seems to me most decent americans see right through this and want no part of it.

[StarFan]

Of all people to talk about corruption, Nancy Pelosi says this is an example of ongoing Republican corruption.

Followed by Terry McAuliffe who is now gloating on CNN.

[hummingbird]

Who believes in a coincidence like this...House and Senate Majority Leaders BOTH with serious accusations that have nothing of substance to back the charges at the same time.

Sounds like "BINGO" to me.

[marta R]

Sure. And if Ronnie Earle wrongly accused DeLay of a crime he and the county that pays his salary should be sued to oblivion.

Here's a couple more to complete your collection:

That is a really good question and never having heard of anyone waiving the statute of limitations before, I don't know the answer. I would assume that this is something that could be waived, or Earle is screwed. (who knows though, this could be a f*ck up on Earle's part)

Perhaps this is more like an affirmative defense that must be asserted by the defendant and not a true jurisdictional requirement.

You do realize that we now have a group of people on all threads about Republicans that automatically hijack the subject at hand to Bush/ name /Republicans /Conservatives are "spending money like drunken sailors" mode. It is becoming boring and monotonous.

This group can be easily summed up: *they do not want government money spent on anything, anytime, anywhere for any reason. [*unless it is something they believe is necessary]

Then we have the "equalizers" - Republicans and Democrats are exactly alike in their methods. They never provide a name, an article anything verifiable to back up the accusations.
