Man, DeLay's getting personal; he should NOT do that.
They were attorneys on Fox who have seen all the evidence over the years.
And the argument that was made is that it HAS been adjudicated (by more than one court) and he has a right to go with an emergency writ straight to the USSC.
I thought DeLay was pretty constrained for Delay. He is a tight wound guy, no doubt about it. It is also vague as to just what the federal courts are being asked to do. But there is a procedural change. Only SCOTUS can review a state supreme court decision, and that is discretionary. If jurisdiction for review is granted to an appellate court, then it must take the matter up. Whether that raises constitutional issues in and of itself, I don't know. I am just a dirt bag provincial lawyer over my head.
