Abramoff and Delay Links Grow
In case anyone failed to realize the links between lobbyist Jack Abramoff's fraud and bribery charges and the looming criminal trial of House leader Tom Delay, the AP is reporting that Ronnie Earl, the Texas prosecutor prosecuting the Delay case, has subpoenaed Abramoff records relating to Delay today -- the same day that Abramoff pled guilty and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. Coincidence? I think not.
As I said before, Abramoff is a loose thread that will unknit a lot of sweaters, and I'm betting Delay is one of those hoping they keep the thermostat up in his jail cell, 'cause he won't have a lot of cover in the months to come.

"Abramoff and Delay Links Grow"
HalfFastSkier: The problem is that the Constitution isn't self-executing; the Founders counted on "jealousy" among the different branches to be the regulator. They didn't envision a single-party, single-vision juggernaut occupying all branches simultaneously -- especially not one that 49% (at least) of the people don't support. The question is WHO will start enforcing the Constitution.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Is this why Jefferson supported the right to bear arms, and talked about watering democracy with the blood of tyrants?
Not suggesting, just chewing.
