The 6th amendment of the constitution allows for a speedy trial, in this case it should have held true for the state.

Once upon a time bribery of public officials was considered a serious crime, now it is considered lobbying.

Is this supposed to make up for Bush & Cheney still walking free?

And now another great demonstration of
judicial ‘financing’ which our supreme court
instigated back in January, where a judge
determines the sentence by how much the
criminal pays him. Whereby a person, like this
crook and piece of crud named tom delay, will
remain out of jail waiting the appeal he will pay
for with the money he salted away from his
laundrying business.

Another great day in the the great american
justice system.

Be nice if Texas did not have any White Collar club penitentiaries.

That’s ok. Obama will probably give him a pardon.

No one knows where all that dirty money has been, sort of like my dogs mouth,.... so I wouldn’t touch Tom Delay’s money with your mouth?

Only a GOP kind of guy like DeLay would think that his conviction was a political gotcha because he redistricted Texas. Last I checked, Texas was a Republican state. He may not serve a sentence but there may serve a better purpose for having been convicted. Time will tell. Something sure seems strange from behind the scene here. Can’t help but feel that this trial was to set up justification for Issa’s witch hunt of the POTUS.

Looking at this picture I am disgusted by the fact that Republicans spend their life trying to take away a woman’s right to make decisions in regards to family planning and then use women as props when the spotlight is on them. Reminds me of another thug, Newt Gingrich, the serial adulterer. Both cut from the same rotting, vermin infested cloth.

i am pleased that he has been ruined financially.

So he’ll buy his way out of jail, then he will
reappear in the senate in a few years. The
senate does not have a ban on convicted felons
serving in that hall of horrors.

He’ll serve Jail Time when Hell freezes over and he can’t get sent there.

Too many years too late.

Send him to Devil’s Island!

First we have to worry that he’ll get off on appeal.

Then will Perry give him a pardon?

I don’t think the “Hammer” will ever see the inside of a jail cell, where he belongs.
