The latest situation with Tom Delay is interesting. A (Democrat) judge has ruled that Republicans cannot replace Delay on the ballot for this coming November even though he wants to withdraw his name due to his legal problems. This brings to mind the situation a few years ago when it was revealed a few days before the election that Senator Torricelli of New Jersey had some serious ethical issues, and seemed certain to lose the election. A (Democrat) judge allowed the Democrats to replace Torricelli even though New Jersey law clearly did not allow it. We are supposed to be a nation ruled by laws rather than by whim of men. It seems to me that Democrats want us to be ruled by whim of Judges rather than by laws.
