Our state’s highest criminal court, which just happens to be all-Republican, has asked prosecutors to respond to DeLay's request that the charges against him be dismissed. The court will decide whether to take the case after the prosecutors' response is received. On Tuesday it was reported that the court would hear the case, but on Wednesday this statement was retracted. The case has been on hold while prosecutors appeal a judge's dismissal of some...
