Jackass liberal judge humiliated, might I add - What an idiot.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Am I missing something? What did the judge do wrong?
Judges are elected in Texas and are free to contribute to candidates and political parties.

Looks like his contributions to Moveon.org were the real problem. Even though I don't like Delay, I see no problem with removing the judge. Just like removing jury members who would have a bias.

They should remove the judge. Along as they nail Delay I don't care who the judge is.

I don't see where the "burn" or humiliation is. They determined the judge may not be impartial in the case and removed him. Yeah that dirty hippie liberal sure got his ass handed to him!Originally Posted by Johnny USA

You are not missing anything. The judge did nothing wrong.Originally Posted by jabryl
No judge can be seen to be biased. As this case involves financial fraud and money laundering in a political context, this judge could be seen as being biased as he has in past donated money to the opposite party (Dem). Delay will still go on trial (hopefully with a semi neutral judge) and all indications are that he will most probably be convicted.
Calling the judge a "jackass" says more about the original poster's character than the judge's.

What evidence do you have that Delay is guilty.Originally Posted by Thinman
You should present your evidence to the prosecution so that they can win and you'll get you wish.
If you have no evidence, you are an ignorant moron who should not be allowed to vote in open elections until further proved tolerable.

I'm sure they have evidence against him or they wouldn't be pursuing a case against him. I just don't like the man (Delay). Its just an opinion.Originally Posted by fingerINhole

That judge prosecuted Democrats as well.
Delay is the perfect model for the politican everyone hates. Dammit, I can't stand that guy, you just have to look at his ****-eating grin and can tell he's a son of a bitch.

Yea, and because you don't like someone then it's time to prosecute them on trumped up charges! He's a jerk so even if he's innocent he deserves having his name dragged through the mud or worse!

I'm not the one prosecuting him. As far as the charges go, we will have to wait and see the trial. You have a short memory Sir. When Clinton was in office, he was dragged through the mud on all kinds of trumped up charges.Originally Posted by Johnny USA

Yeah, okay, I'm going to bite...who the f*k is DeLay?
And yes, I do agree that the judge should have been removed. They should be impartial and free of bias (not that it doesn't often work like that but whatever).Viking to the core.
Fark yew.

I disagree with what was done to Clintron but are you saying Clinton did not purger himself?! He CLEARLY lied under oath, no two ways about it... (I personally don't think the President of the United States needed to be on trial for his disgusting personal life in the first place and shouldn't have been in the possition to purger himself. Wait till he's done as Prez, then do it...)Originally Posted by Thinman
And, yea, while I don't know for sure - the Democrats have been grasping at straws trying to smear any/all Republicans. I'm sure this will blow over and the press will pretend it never happened, much like they did when they were so hot to blame Bush for Katriana - up until it was obvious it was the Gov and the Mayor who f'ked up. Then they just moved on.
It will happen here, too.

You might be right. We will just have to see how the trial goes.

I would have to agree. It was DeLay's tactic to have his lawyers move to remove this judge, which was done with no comment by the judge who did it. All judges have political views and are allowed to have them, which doesn't mean they would be biased as far as being able to be impartial when it comes to questions of legal procedures in a trial. Even DeLay's attorneys referred to an "appearance" of bias but did not accuse him directly of having one from what I recall reading about this.Originally Posted by RuhanvYou are not missing anything. The judge did nothing wrong.

It may turn out to be a tactical error for DeLay because another even more conservative judge may be more harsh in a trial for all we know. It might make DeLay look even more desperate, nasty and partisan in many people's minds.
I wouldn't gloat too soon if I were you, Mr. Johnny USA.

The link shows the results of a good legal tactic.
I see nothing that shows any behavior inappropriate by the judge, just legal political donations that "might" give the appereance of bias in regards to this specific defendant.
Changes of venues, recuesing of personnel, these are common occurences in the practice of law. I don't know how the original poster jumped to "humiliated" in his judgement of events, but there seems to be only one "jackass" involved.Without learning frankness becomes vulgarity; bravery, disobedience; firmness, eccentricity; humanity, stupidity; wisdom, flightness, sincerity, a plague

More people cared that he had an affair than lied under oath. By God, did you not see what happened a day after the Janet Jackson "malfunction" in the Super Bowl? We became the laughing stock of the world for, *gasp* showing a single breast and freaking out about it. I wouldn't doubt it if you were terribly offended by the whole situation.Originally Posted by Johnny USA
All partisan adherents trys to smear the other. It's called politics. Don't be so narrow. Where did the Gov. and the Mayor completely F up in the Katrina case?And, yea, while I don't know for sure - the Democrats have been grasping at straws trying to smear any/all Republicans.

Lastly, to stay on topic, why is the judge a jackass? In 1994 he stepped down for the same reasons in another similar case. Way to go smear a guy who doesn't have a single quote or hasn't said anything within this particular article.
Also, DeLay's followers are crying about Austin's "libera bias". Maybe you should start there in your complaints, because that is rediculous.
