Time to right some wrongs...

From here:
DeLay Attorneys to Ask Judge to Dismiss Charges Tuesday, November 22, 2005 AUSTIN, Texas — Attorneys for Rep. Tom DeLay are hoping a judge will dismiss the conspiracy and money laundering charges against DeLay so the former House majority leader can regain the powerful seat. DeLay will appear in court again Tuesday, this time before a new judge who will decide whether the criminal case should continue to trial.
While it is my fervent hope that these spurious charges will be dropped, that should and must not be the end of it. Countersuits must necessarily be filed, accompanied by aggressive bi-cameral paper trail investigations to see who was behind these charges. Democrats have as of late made it a sport to file trumped up charges as a means to sidetrack and disrupt progress in all levels of government, and this practice must stop. A mechanism must be formed to punish those who would engage in this type of malfeasance and blatant abuse of prosecutorial power, as it is clearly not in the best interests of this nation.

The worst thing that the Republicans could do in this case would be to let bygones be bygones. This lunacy must stop.
