Look out, here he comes...

not that we didn't guess what he was up to with terri schiavo, tom delay has now made it official... he is going to lead the charge to purge the judiciary... first they wanna be able to get judges in on a straight up or down vote with minimal debate, fully taking advantage of the republican majority to stack the courts with the ideologically and religiously "correct" and then they wanna establish a standard of "good behavior" so they can get rid of the ones that aren't... the latter, of course, is code for

IMPEACHMENT

and guess what all this self-righteous barnyard manure provides a cover for...? awww, c'mon... it ain't hard to figure out... it diverts attention from mr. delay's staggering


ETHICS PROBLEMS

let's just hope that travis county district attorney, ronnie earle, paragon of virtue that he is (story in christian science monitor), gets the third grand jury empaneled soon and shines some light on the reality of this slimeball...

georgia at Daily Kos has a nice run-down and the Washington Post covers this in today's edition...

here's what ronnie himself has to say... (Common Cause)

In case Mr. Earle couldn't be any more clear he emphasizes it with the often repeated catch-phrase in today's political landscape -

"There is no limit to what you can do if you have the power to change the rules. Congress may make its own rules, but the public makes the rule of law, and depends for its peace on the enforcement of the law. Hypocrisy at the highest levels of government is toxic to the moral fiber that holds our communities together.

The open contempt for moral values by our elected officials has a corrosive effect. It is a sad day for law enforcement when Congress offers such poor leadership on moral values and ethical behavior. We are a moral people, and the first lesson of democracy is not to hold the public in contempt."
