House Republicans proposed changing their rules last night to allow members indicted by state grand juries to remain in a leadership post, a move that would benefit Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) in case he is charged by a Texas grand jury that has indicted three of his political associates, according to GOP leaders.

The proposed rule change, which several leaders predicted would win approval at a closed meeting today, comes as House Republicans return to Washington feeling indebted to DeLay for the slightly enhanced majority they won in this month's elections. DeLay led an aggressive redistricting effort in Texas last year that resulted in five Democratic House members retiring or losing reelection. It also triggered a grand jury inquiry into fundraising efforts related to the state legislature's redistricting actions.

===============================


We are also seeing rule changes regarding filibusters. So who's going to stop the reich-wingers? What would happen if Dems skedaddled across state lines ala Texas Dems? Would bush* just dissolve Congress, declare himself emperor through a divine order?

1. So foolish. So Republican.

Can't ever use "rule of law" or "law and order" again, can they?
