Prosecutor Wants DeLay Judge Removed

"In an unprecedented move," Travis County (TX) District Attorney Ronnie Earle filed a motion "asking a Republican presiding judge to remove himself from the decision about who will be the trial judge in the conspiracy case against Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX), the Austin American Statesman reports.

Earle argued that the judge "should step aside for the same reasons" that the previous judge "was removed from hearing DeLay's case: Both had given political donations."

1. I'm loving this - very predictable - citation: same case. LOL
In states with elected judges who run partisan races, you will probably never find a judge who does not have a party affiliation. Most hilarious.
