WASHINGTON - House Majority Leader Tom DeLay on Thursday blamed Terri Schiavo's death on what he contended was a failed legal system and he raised the possibility of trying to impeach some of the federal judges in the case.

"The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior," said DeLay, R-Texas.

1. His quote works on him too.
Setting himself up for some serious irony when the winds of change shift.

3. Know what, DeLay? The time will come first for you to answer

4. Failed legal system?
No, the legal system worked as it was supposed to.

I certainly hope DeLay's chickens come home to roost soon.

5. Let the war begin!
And if it is the war of the wits, we know who wins.

They just keep picking the wrong battles, they are bound to lose when they start attacking their own!

:banghead:

17. Some of my favorite words to live by
"Never have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent."

9. This is about trying to scare the courts so when he comes in front of them
they will let him go. He is acting exactly like the Mafia. It has been successful up to this point so why should he stop now. Bully tactics will always work unless someone stands up to the bully.

10. You really have to
not have been paying attention not to get the code.

He is speaking to the fundy base. It's not about impeachment. "The time" which "will come" is Judgment Day and he and the base obviously believes all who sided with Michael are going straight to hell.

11. saw this coming last week
I think they knew all along how this would unfold, and I think it is a setup. New legislation taking away authority from the courtsif not spouses, and ramming through their judge choices via nuclear option. I heard tomorrow is the day they make the move. . .

12. I hope that DeLay has his witch hunt
Removal from office through impeachment requires 67 senators, which is virtually impossible to get.

18. More Dems need to get out there and speak out
I'm still hoping that they will with the passing of Terri Schiavo. Delay fired the first shot and I hope they'll stand up to him.

19. Let him keep digging....
what we're hearing from DeLay now is his political death rattle....

Best thing to do is just leave him alone in his fear and misery and he will finish himself off.
