Tom Delay in deeper, and Bush goes all out

Two new felony charges were brought up against Tom Delay yesterday, including one for money laundering. What I find interesting is that his lawyers are seeking to get last week's charges thrown out on a legal technicality. So are they then admitting that the charges are true? I guess we will find out once the judge comes back from vacation. Another thing I find funny is that Delay keeps referring to the charges as politically motivated. Of course they are politically motivated!!! Everything is politically motivated, especially when Delay's two buddies have already been indicted on similar charges and are currently awaiting trial. Even if Delay had nothing to do with the alleged conspiracy and money laundering, he is an idiot for placing himself with people already facing charges for things that are always hot issues for Washington policians.

In other news, President Bush has nominated his very close advisor Harriet Miers for the next open Supreme Court position. This time Bush has managed to confuse both the Republicans and the Democrats in the Senate. The Republicans are not sure about her because she may not be conservative enough, and some Democrats look like they might support her. I am totally confused as to why the Republicans would think she may not be conservative enough. She is the personal advisor to President Bush. The President who has sunk us into massive debt, squandered huge surpluses, given tax breaks to large corporations and to the wealthy, preaches small government while making the government larger than ever, opposes gay marriage, favors overturning women's choice, and has started wars in two countries. Oh yes, I think she is completely wrong for the country...so the Republicans will most likely back her wholeheartedly.
Some key points here: White House counselor Dan Bartlett said on the Today show, that Bush had not Miers about her views on gay rights or abortion; Kyleen Wright, president of an anti-abortion group former known as Texans United for Life, stated that Miers donated $150.00 to the organization; Senator Brownback has stated "It has been my expectation that President Bush would nominate someone in the mould of Justices Scalia and Thomas", both Scalia and Thomas have voted to overturn Roe v. Wade.
