Dan,
All true-- short of impeachment, in a Democracy it is the job of Tom DeLay's constituents to vote him out.
He may think he is above the law but if 50.1% of the voters in his District decide otherwise, he will be history.
A few more punches and the Democratic Party of Texas should find someone to give him the knockout punch. Nobody is above the law, especially a Congressman who has to run every two years.

Just fit him in an orange jumpsuit - it might make that "rat" he wears on his head look good!

Without DeLay: Clean Up Congress Now
10 reasons why Tom DeLay should resign from Congress
1. Tom DeLay violates ethics rules at will, making him a national embarrassment. Indeed, he has earned four formal ethics violations, a truly rare achievement, as only five Members of Congress have been chastised by the committee in the last six years.
2. Tom DeLay embodies the worst of pay-to-play politics - he puts big donors like Enron ahead of the rest of us.
3. Tom DeLay abuses his position as House Majority Leader to trample on the legislative process and stretches the rules of campaign fundraising far as he can.
4. Tom DeLay accepted travel expenses from a registered foreign agent, in apparent violation of House rules.
5. Tom DeLay used illegal corporate contributions to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of Texas voters with his anti-democratic re-districting scheme.
6. Tom DeLay uses tax dollars and government resources for partisan political gain.
7. Tom DeLay opposes any reasonable campaign finance laws, even disclosure of donations.
8. Tom DeLay shakes down small business owners for campaign contributions.
9. Tom DeLay received all expenses-paid junket from a lobbyist accused of bilking tens of millions of dollars from six Native American tribes.
10. Tom DeLay believes he is above the law.

As usual Bush wants a crook like DeLay. Can't find or don't want a honest man. No, DeLay will never be found guilty or be held responsible. He's too big a fish and a Bush buddy. Also neither party wants to push the issue since most are as guilty as Tom. Politics as usual. We need to clean house big time. Legislation needs to be passed which allows easier removal of these losers and loss of benefits. Does Tar and Feather sound like a option?

Mr. Delay's threat against the judiciary should be enough of a warning as to just how dangerous and mean spirited he is. That said, America seems to want his brand of government and leadership. Pitiful!!
