It perverts justice for a prosecutor to offer a misdemeanor plea and then indict on a "felony" in order to circumvent the Constitution's prohibition of arrest/harassment of Congressmen.

That's why I was talkin about "ball" here... It's dirty pool!!!
I beg to differ. Misdemeanor charges are frequently offered in felony plea bargainings. That's the essence of "pleading to a lesser charge."
I too think this case is politically motivated, but it should play out. Delay should be exonerated in a court of law, not because he's got a Congressional "Get Out of Jail Free" card (unless you're willing to give Dims the same pass).
Why haven't Delay's attorneys filed to have this sh*% indictment thrown out? Why have they let it get this far?
