A federal judge ruled today that Republicans cannot replace former U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay on the ballot for the 22nd Congressional District race.
U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks, a Republican appointee, ruled that DeLay must appear on the Nov. 7 ballot as the GOP nominee for the congressional seat that he abandoned last month.
Sparks said DeLay could “withdraw” from the race under Texas election law, but that still would not allow the Republicans to replace him on the ballot.
DeLay will appeal. But this is good news for Lampson.
Bwaaaaahahahaha! And a Republican-appointed judge, no less. Bet the BugMan didn’t see that one coming..
yup. Those damn liberal republican-appointed judges are just on a partisan witchhunt.
Ann Coulter, the plagiarizer, is on Hannity & Colmes. Hannity wants to know why we want to silence her. Like we ever said that. We just said she should not be invited on respectable programs.
Reading this almost makes me happy that half my channels, including Fox News and CNN, dropped off about six months ago.
HOT DAMN!!!!!! I am so excited. I hope delay rots in hell but not before meeting his roommate Bubba in prison!!!!!
poetic justice still persists … and let’s hope he does rot in prison with Bubba … I’m just hoping that no appeal will work for him, and it’s still a landslide for Lampson! (baby steps, I know…)
I just love these ‘activist’ judges…bless their ever lovin’ hearts!
The Rule Of Law is inherently conservative as a concept – in the traditional sense of “conservative” that means don’t change the lessons of the past just to adopt some new idea.
DeLay is not and has not been truly conservative. He’s just power-hungry, and like his mentor, Gingrich, searched for a philosophy that he could use to label his power hunger with.
Good lawyers apply the Rule of Law.
