No Delay for DeLay

As you know, the Fifth Circuit Court ruled that Tom DeLay had to stay on the Texas Congressional Ballot for the Republican party. The Republicans were asking Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia to intervene and stay the ruling.

Almost immediately, Scalia refused to issue the stay. That’s a huge surprise to me, but I think Scalia might see the writing on the wall, and there could be a Democratic Congress coming up.
