Legal Smackdown Of Tom DeLay's Original Indictment

Pretty good, if you want to know the precise legal reasons as to why the first indictment was defective on its face.

If you want to skip it, the quick version is the My Cousin Vinne demurrer: "Everything that guy just said is bullshit."

He'll be taking down the second indictment next.

Yup, that's some good reading there. Us reality based commenters conserved the crazy that would have been needlessly burned if we had not pointed out some of his points months ago. Since I did not have the Texas Annotated Code, I did not know about Baker, but it seems that we were right about this being a non-crime.

I can't wait to read this guy's thoughts on the whole money laundering charge. I personally saved 3 moores (the standard unit of measuring crazy, 10 deans to the moore) of crazy by pointing out the actual definition of the crime.

Its gonna be a strange to read the reports about the dismissal of the Delay indictment. How will they do that. How much crazy will be lost on that????

Ace, check out Donald Sensing going to town on the Dems. with a 300 lbs. sledgehammer. He's got all you need on the "Did Bush lie?" meme.

Also Junkyardblog has a nifty little Just Google It sidebar ad you might like.

CJN podcast 1400 copy.jpg
Podcast: CBD and Sefton are joined by Vox Clamantis, a career federal prosecutor. We discuss what Due Process actually is, and how it applies to deportation, what the Trump administration can do to combat judicial overreach, and more!
Stephen Miller: The courts are attempting to unconstitutionally enshrine open borders into law by imposing an "infinite process" on deportations.
They're too cowardly to admit what they're doing and just say, "We don't like the way they people voted and who they voted for, so we're deposing the president through a judicial coup." Instead, they're just making it so that we can have a nominal law that allows the deportations of foreign criminals and gang members, but we're also going to impose "due process" requirements that will guarantee all illegals a lifetime residency in the US.
Forgotten 80s Mystery Click: The Last Days of Yacht Rock Edition

George Clooney now looks like Bela Lugosi from Ed Wood
In this "interview," Jake Tapper claims that Clooney writing an op-ed at the instigation of Barack Obama was "brave," and Clooney returns the favor by telling Jake Tapper that "journalists" are brave and irreplaceable. It's the world's least enticing gay porn.
Prepare for a shock: Former (?) Handgun Control, Inc. spokesman Jake Tapper lies about the background of his hard-left political agitator guest, presenting him as merely an "FSU student" and allowing him to claim Republicans have blood on their hands for the recent school shooting
However, D'Onofrio isn't some dispassionate observer. He's not just some random FSU student. It doesn't sound like he was anywhere in the neighborhood of the shooting, either. He was brought on primarily to talk about the politics, but was presented as an FSU student to try and leverage sympathy for his position.

But let's also remember, once again, that the alleged killer was prohibited from buying any kind of firearm in the state of Florida. He stole a firearm owned by his police officer mother. He carried a firearm into a gun-free zone. Florida's permitless carry only applies to people over 21, so he wasn't covered by that. No one used a red flag law to disarm him.

At every level, he broke the law. None of the laws sold to the people of Florida as necessary to prevent a tragedy worked to prevent this tragedy, and yet it's somehow the fault of people who recognize that?
The Pope has died. [Weirddave]
The price of eggs has dropped from an average of $8/dozen to $3.13/dozen but Democrats are claiming Easter eggs prices are up. I guess all of the non- or anti-Christian "fact" checkers in the media are taking the day off, for some reason.
Trump offers Easter wishes
Happy Easter!
BTW, I read that this is the first time in years the White House website has offered an Easter prayer. Every other religion and fake religion got promoted by Biden, but not Christianity.
Oh, and NPR's Easter story is that "Trump seeks corporate sponsors for Easter egg roll." Obviously every president does this, but this communist propaganda organization only points it out now, after having denied the Biden's family influence-farming operations for a decade.
