First, Delay gets Judge Perkins booted as judge, claiming that his ties to the Democrats gave an appearance of bias. Taking a page from Delay's playbook, Earle got Shraub to withdraw because of his donations to Republicans.
Here is where it gets interesting. The judge that Shraub got to take over to appoint a judge for Delay's trial has all kinds of ties to Delay, jack Abramoff, and the Republican party, but guess what? He appointed another Democratic judge to preside over Delay's trial. Are you confused yet? LOL.
Truth is, any one of the booted judges, Perkins or Shraub would have given Delay a fair trial. After the silly theatrics by Delay, and the petty countermove by Earle, we are back to square one. Delay gets a Democrat for a judge, and you know what? Just like Perkins or Shraub, he is also a professional, and will do his job well. So now, with this bit of silly political gamesmanship out of the way, let the trial begin. The wheels of justice are once again moving.
