Instead of facing up the charges, Mr. Delay instead attacked Judge Perkins because of his campaign contributions to the Democratic Party. It seems that the only justice Mr. Delay is concerned with is justice from his own set of cronies.<br /><br />The fact is that Texas has partisan judges and Mr. Delay is being tried in Travis County where the capitol of Austin is located. Austin is predominantly Democratic. For these reason Mr. Delay is asking for Judge Perkins to recuse himself and for a change of venue.<br /><br />Think about this logically. Mr. Delay doesn't like Democratic judges and Democratic juries. He won't be happy until he is in Republican country and has a buddy presiding over the proceedings. Tom Delay, you should be more concerned with the American people, than covering your own behind by having your trial in a Republican controlled area. Ronnie Earl, Travis County District Attorney had this to say, as in today's New York Times:<br /><blockquote><p><br />"What this means is that if a judge had contributed to Crime Stoppers, that judge could not hear a burglary case," Mr. Earle said. "Carried to its extreme, this is what I think this motion means."</p></blockquote><br /><br />It's time to face the music Tom Delay. It doesn't matter if a Democrat or Republican is playing the instrument, it's time to face the music.DemocratJphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13682285960806970525noreply@blogger.com
