AUSTIN, Texas – The judge in Rep. Tom DeLay’s conspiracy case was removed at the congressman’s request Tuesday because of his donations to Democratic candidates and causes.
A new judge will be appointed to preside over the case, a judge who came out of retirement to hear the dispute ruled.
The ruling came after a hearing in which attorneys for the former House Republican leader argued that state District Judge Bob Perkins’ political donations called his impartiality into question. Perkins, a Democrat, has contributed to candidates such as John Kerry and the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org.
"Liberal advocacy" group? How about Moonbat Smear and Destroy group? And how much you want to be that this next quote ends up as one of the Lefty talking points?
"Judges are presumed to be impartial," Reed (the prosecutor) said.
Really? Perhaps you could explain that to the MoveOn, who are already smearing Alito. I guess impariality only counts when the Dems get their way.
