What's troubling is that the Republicans to defend Mr. DeLay are weakening the ethics process.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Delay is the deadliest form of denial.
Delay is not our friend. Delay is our enemy.
I filed the ethics complaint against Tom DeLay not because I'm a Democrat and he's a Republican or even because he drew me out of my congressional seat but because he engaged in corruption to further his plans to disenfranchise voters in Texas.
Delay is the enemy of progress.
So the next thing I assume I'll be hearing from Republicans, they want to change rules some way, as they do on the House when you get a problem with ethics, they just change the rules.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
A right delayed is a right denied.
Delay in justice is injustice.
Tom DeLay may or may not have broken campaign finance laws, but he did his best to look like he was breaking them.
None of them want to delay. Understand that. None of them.
