"U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks, a Republican appointee, ruled that DeLay must appear..."I wonder if the writer would have mentioned it if the judge were a Democrat appointee. He seems to think adding that Sparks is a Republican appointee adds weight to his story.

Sam Sparks has a reputation as a liberal Judge, at least in my book. The Dems go to him to get favorable rulings.
Appointed by a Republican? So was Souter!

It certainly helps to defuse charges of judicial activism, something some people cry every time a judge rules against them.
