Today this once great country and specifically the criminal justice system in Texas hit an all time low. Political mafioso, Tom Delay, and his high priced partisan whore of an attorney Dick DeGeurin, got senior judge C.W. Bud Duncan to set a precedent sending the Texas criminal justice system back to the days of good ole boys in white hoods, and wink and a nod trials.
Duncan recused judge Bob Perkins from presiding over Tom Delay's trial because Perkins is a Democrat and contributed in the past to Democratic candidates and organizations.
Of course after C.W. ruled he had no comments. But district attorney Ronnie Earle said two very important things: "There is no precedent for recusing a justice based on political contributions" and "we cannot afford to make integrity a partisan issue".
"Witnesses on both sides testified to Perkins reputation as a fair and honest judge".
So, doesn't this raise some compelling questions? Now, your honor, senior judge C.W. Bud Duncan, are you a Republican or a Democrat? Did you ever donate to either party? did you ever receive campaign funds (judges are elected in Texas) from Delay or Dick DeGuerin or any of their Republican pacs or friends?
Now lets take this precedent a bit higher, Mr. Scalia and Mr. Thomas aren't you card carrying Republicans? What candidates and organizations did you contribute to in the past? Uh, Mr Scalia didn't you go duck hunting with your buddy, Republican Vice President, Dick Cheney.
I just don't get it? How does this corrupt bastard, Delay (former pest exterminator) get away with this stuff? First he changes the rules on the Congressional ethics committe and removes members who don't support him which results in shutting down the ethics committee, so he is never held accountable for his political corruption. And now he flips a senior judge in Texas to set a precedent so far reaching it could dismantle the criminal justice system, just to cover his ass.
And you know what? If he's not in jail, he will probably get re-elected by those dumb shit Texas Republicans whose whole political education comes from Limbaugh, Hannity and their Republican preachers. Hell, even if he's in jail, they probably will still vote for him.
