Default OT Arrest Warrant for DeLay!

Guess the righties here were wrong~

(10-19) 13:40 PDT Austin, Texas (AP) --


A Texas court issued a warrant Wednesday for former House Majority
Leader Tom DeLay to appear for booking, where he is likely to face the
fingerprinting and photo mug shot he had hoped to avoid.


Bail was initially set at $10,000 as a routine step before his first
court appearance on conspiracy and money laundering charges. Travis
County court officials said DeLay was ordered to appear at the Fort
Bend County jail for booking.


The warrant was "a matter of routine and bond will be posted," DeLay
attorney Dick DeGuerin said.


The lawyer declined to say when DeLay would surrender to authorities
but said the lawmaker would make his first court appearance Friday
morning.


The charges against the Texas Republican stem from allegations that a
DeLay-founded Texas political committee funneled corporate money into
state GOP legislative races through the National Republican Party.
Texas law prohibits use of corporate money to elect state candidates.


DeLay is charged with conspiracy to violate state election laws and
money laundering, felony counts that triggered House Republican rules
that forced him to step aside as majority leader.


Two separate indictments charge that DeLay and two political associates
had the money distributed to state legislative candidates in a
roundabout way - sending it from the political action committee in
Texas to the Republican National Committee in Washington and finally
back to candidates' campaigns.


DeLay has denied wrongdoing.


The effort had major political consequences, first by helping
Republicans take control of the Texas Legislature in the 2002
elections. The Legislature then redrew congressional boundaries
according to a DeLay-inspired plan, took command of the state's U.S.
House delegation and helped the GOP retain its U.S. House majority.

Kevin,
Why do you have the chip on your shoulder? Did you not realize you had cut

Kevin, do you think people would show more concern if you posted that
