Thanks for the Memory to Vulture Six.
It looks like the case against Tom DeLay is unraveling further. The judge presiding over his case is being removed from the case for conflict of interest after it was revealed he's a contributor to political groups like MoveOn.org.
Let's see:
One indictment for an activity that was not illegal at the time it occurred.
A second indictment for "laundering" funds, despite the fact that the funds were raised by the activities in indictment #1, and if the activity wasn't illegal, the money by definition can't be laundered.
A third indictment rejected by the Grand Jury.
And now they've lost their sympathetic judge for a (hopefully) more impartial one.
Ronnie Earle and his allies must be grinding their teeth.
