I don't know about Roberts, but many adminstration appointments and nominations have definitely been conflicts of interest.
This one might be too, I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm a fan of Move On, myself (which probably isn't a surprise to anybody). I doubt if I could be objective if I were judging DeLay's case. I'm bringing my opinion to the table--I think the guy's dirtier than hell, I think he's deeply harmful to America, and I hope he gets the book thrown at him. If I were that judge, I'd probably have to recuse myself.
Now, the fact that the judge HASN'T recused himself means HE thinks it's not an issue. DeLay screaming about this just makes him look (more) like a little boy who's not getting his way. It's not smart politics, which is uncharactaristic for him. Shows you the level of panic he's starting to exhibit, doesn't it?
Speaking of which, anybody else see a hint of mania behind the smile in Tommy's mug shot?
