Yeakel found Monday that the plaintiffs "failed to allege 
    any facts that [DeLay co-defendant John] Colyandro 
    intentionally or even knowingly violated the applicable 
    sections of the Texas Election Code, let alone that he 
    intended to agree to accomplish an unlawful purpose ... "

    The really big deal here is that a civil suit requires a 
    much lower standard for a finding in favor of the plaintiff.
    "Preponderance of the Evidence" as opposed to "Beyond 
    Reasonable Doubt". Note that both OJ and Robert Blake 
    lost very large civil suits relating to the deaths for 
    which they were acquitted in criminal trials.

    If the facts in evidence won't support a civil trial, let 
    alone going to trial and having a not guilty finding, this
    is real fluff. Ronnie should be impeached because the 
    incompetent SOB probably won't be voted out of office by 
    the moonbat population of Austin.
