Justice DeLay’d

I’m already annoyed (and by annoyed, I mean livid) that the flaw firm of BushCo and Blair continues to skate, but this is just rubbing salt in the wound:

Salon asked Lou Dubose, co-author of The Hammer, whether former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) would ever actually spend a day in jail after being sentenced to three years for laundering corporate campaign contributions.

Said DuBose: “No. Simply because the Court of Criminal Appeals is an elected court, it’s all Republican, it’s highly political. It’s known as a prosecutors’ court, but in this case I would bet that they’re going to rule for the defendant. The Third Court of Appeals, where the appeal will start, is also a Republican court.”

Optimist.

    On the other hand all the courts are Republican now in Texas even the ones in Austin. Judges determine what evidence is presented to the jury but DeLay was still convicted.
    Guess we keep our fingers crossed that the “Repo” Judges realize what a detriment this guy is.
    He’d go to country club prison and be out in 1 year with good behavior.

    The “Hammer” might skate? I just threw up in may mouth…a little.
