HeightsGuy Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I was joking earlier, but it looks like DeLay may have to do the perp walk after all:DeLay likely to be booked this week"Perkins believes that if God was charged with a felony, he would have to go through the booking process, too," said D'Ann Underwood, court coordinator for the judge.Before Friday, DeLay, a Republican from Sugar Land, will likely spend about an hour being fingerprinted and photographed, she said. He'll also be required to state his attorneys for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjb434 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 The election laws were in effect after the incident Earle is using.I'm not much of a lawyer, but wouldn't expos facto (i think that's right) come into play.I would be willing to buy everyone on this forum a drink in downtown if anything come up against Delay.

MidtownCoog Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 The point in both cases is that it's a political witch hunt.For the uninformed, this is not the first time Earle has gone after Delay. Kinda like how Star kept after Clinton like a mad dog. A wee bit odd, wouldn't you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmainguy Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 What do you mean the subject is not Earle, don't you think Earle is the flip side to this coin ? If not, please explain, so i may better understand your "sick & twisted, left-winged, tree-huggin, liberal thinking!" (psssst!, just kiddin, I don't think you're a treehugger.) The subject is not Earle because DeLay was indicted by a Travis County Grand Jury. It is Earle's sworn duty to prosecute the case. That's what he was elected to do as DA. If people have a beef with that, elect someone else or lobby to have the law changed. Until then, we're stuck with what we have. That's why it's about DeLay. A little bit about that mean ol' Democrat pickin' on Republicans-from the Houston Chronicle no less-not known to be a bastion of Liberal thought [for your reading pleasure]: While Earle is an elected Democrat, as Media Matters for America has previously noted, a June 17 editorial in the Houston Chronicle commended his work: "During his long tenure, Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle has prosecuted many more Democratic officials than Republicans. The record does not support allegations that Earle is prone to partisan witch hunts." This assertion supports Earle's own claim about his record; a March 6 article in the El Paso Times reported: "Earle says local prosecution is fundamental and points out that 11 of the 15 politicians he has prosecuted over the years were Democrats." And we're not talking minor Democrats, either. His biggest targets: U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, 1994: Acquitted of official misconduct and records tampering after Earle dropped the case during the trial. Former state Rep. Betty Denton, D-Waco, 1995: Sentenced to six months probation and fined $2,000 for listing false loans and contributions on campaign finance reports. Former state Rep. Lane Denton, D-Waco, 1995: Sentenced to 60 days in work-release program and six years probation, fined $6,000 and ordered to pay more than $67,000 restitution after being convicted of theft and misapplication of fiduciary property for funneling money from the Department of Public Safety Officers Association to a Denton company. House Speaker Gib Lewis, D-Fort Worth, 1992: In plea bargain, Earle dropped more serious charges when Lewis pleaded no contest to failing to disclose a business investment. Lewis was fined $2,000, and the judge said he took into consideration that Lewis was retiring from public office. Attorney General Jim Mattox, Democrat, 1985: Acquitted on felony bribery charges. Won re-election. State Rep. Mike Martin, R-Longview, 1982: Pleaded guilty to perjury after lying about having himself shot to gain publicity. Did not run for re-election. State Treasurer Warren Harding, Democrat, 1982: Pleaded no contest to official misconduct and dropped re-election bid. Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Yarbrough, Democrat, 1978: Sentenced to five years for lying to a grand jury and forgery. Gave up seat. So his highest profile prosecutions include a Democratic state supreme court justice, a Democratic attorney general, a Democratic state treasurer, and a Democratic speaker of the Texas House. Remember that as Earle is smeared as a partisan Democrat Nobody blamed Clinton. Learn to read. But if you can't see the parallel between Star and Earle, and Clinton and Delay, then you just don't get politics. Star (Rep) was after Clinton (Dem) and Earle (Dem) is after Delay (Rep). I totally get politics but no one elected Starr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe I should'nt call it the "Blame it on Clinton Club".

Anyway, the Dems, for some reason, put up an empty suit against Bush. He got lucky. A lot of people held their noses as they voted for Bush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
