Here's a Jonah Goldberg post on the Corner farther up the page:

"From a reader:

Jonah,
I was an attorney for the [AGENCY NAME WITHHELD] for almost five years, and dealt with the civil side of the law at issue in the DeLay indictment. To say that the law is vague is an understatement – we didn’t know what it meant half the time. And Earle knows that, too. So even if there were a conviction, I don’t see how it could be upheld on appeal.

But Earle’s goal isn’t getting a conviction upheld, it’s the chance to have all the media descend on Austin for another “trial of the century.” If this mess does go to trial, there probably will be a conviction. Ronnie’s Austin jury pool will be made up of the most wacked-out liberals in all of Texas (Austin just loooooves Howard Dean). All the Volvo-driving, latte-slurping, blind salamander-loving nuts that make up this town must be drooling at the thought of getting on the jury.

Please don’t disclose my name or where I used to work – I still have a wife and kid to support!"

Delay's lawyers will most likely ask to move the trial out of Travis County knowing what kind of moonbats live there.

That's exactly why DeLay's attorneys will ask for a change of venue. A partisan prosecutor and a hopelessly tainted jury pool. And the motion will probably be granted.
