Prosecutors Want DeLay Charges Reinstated

By APRIL CASTRO, Associated Press Writer Wed Mar 22, 6:56 AM ET

AUSTIN, Texas - Prosecutors will try to persuade a Texas appeals court Wednesday to reinstate some of the criminal charges against Rep. Tom DeLay, who is trying to win re-election to Congress while under indictment.

Texas & Oklahoma - March, News

In December, a judge threw out some of the conspiracy and money laundering charges against the former House majority leader, saying the conspiracy law DeLay allegedly violated did not exist at the time.

Prosecutors say that it did. Both sides will argue their cases before the Texas 3rd Court of Appeals.

DeLay, who will not attend the hearing, said charges shouldn't be restored and blamed the case on politics. He also said he's frustrated with the proceedings.

1. I think that CORRUPTION is where the real action will be in Nov.

Iraq is the great crime. But corruption is what is undermining the
faith or their fundy base: WMD lies, Abramoff, Dubai deals etc can all be
tied together under that theme.

4. Maybe it's just me but does anyone else think it ought to be a crime

to run for re-election while your under indictment for misusing the office you are running for?

This is EXACTLY why Americans feel so disgruntled about our government! If my employer was taking me to court for misappropriations of funds not only would I not have a job I wouldn't be able to find a job ever again!
