WTF??

Judge must step aside in DeLay case
Judge Bob Perkins has contributed to Democratic causes. Details to come on Austin American statesman.com.

Now DeLay gets to select the partisanship of his his judge?
And he gets by with it?
This is no longer America.
This is some sick, fucked up shit.

Gulp!
Next comes the change of venue- I'm thinking Crawford might suit the Bugman...

I didn't think it was even legal for a defendant to demand a partisan judge.
Can you imagine a gang-banger on trial for grand theft auto in Beverly Hills having his lawyer demand a liberal judge and a change of venue to East Los??

Hey..if they can afford good counsel its been tried...change of venue is asked for all the time.

If a crime is committed and a perpetrator lives or does business in the country in which he is charged-- and his lawyer wants a change of venue-- it should be because of the risk of adverse publicity influencing the jurors in that county, not to move to a Republican county to fish for sympathetic jurors.
I'm surprised DeLay's attorney Dick DeGuerin hasn't been shot by now. You should check how many guilty scumbags he's gotten off.
