TEXAS JUDGE RULES AGAINST DELAY-FOUNDED PAC

It's a definite setback for DeLay. His Texans for a Republlican Majority, the PAC that was used in the Texas redistricting fight, was found to have violated election law by failing to report more than $500,000 in corporate donations. The PAC claimed that the money was spent for "administrative purposes," which was legal at the time, but an argument that did not find favor with the judge. In reality, the money was funneled from corporations through the PAC to DeLay-chosen candidates seeking to defeat Democratic incumbents. Texas law bans corporations from contributing money to candidates for office.

Just wait till Travis County DA Ronnie Earle concludes his grand jury inquiry. Look for more indictments -- and I'm not excepting Tom DeLay.
