"Try this instead of the media:" I looked at it yesterday. It states that DeLay, Ellis and Colyandro entered into a conspiracy to take money from corporate contributors and funnel it into Texas elections, a violation of Texas law. While Colyandro and Ellis made the contacts and did the actual work, DeLay was involved in the planning. The planning is implicit in the part that reads "did enter into an agreement with one or more of each other" and so on. So what he did wrong was plan with the other two how to circumvent Texas law. Which is illegal when actually carried out. You cannot sit down with some people and draw up a plan to knock over ATM machines and then, when the guys actually do it and get caught say "I didn't actually do anything so you can't arrest me", because they can. You might make the claim that you didn't know they were actually going to do it and that might fly. But, may be not. In this case, DeLay cannot even claim that he didn't benefit from it, because he did. It helped him achieve a goal he had been working towards for a while.

Roberts sworn in as chief Chicago Tribune ^ \| Jan Crawford Judge John Roberts Jr. was sworn in Thursday as the nation's 17th chief justice, succeeding the man he once called "Boss," after the Senate voted 78-22 to confirm him, with attention quickly shifting to the next vacancy on the Supreme Court. Standing under the chandeliers in the White House's East Room, with a beaming President Bush at his side, Roberts vowed to bear "true faith and allegiance" to the Constitution. Six of the court's current justices sat before him, having witnessed Justice John Paul Stevens, the court's most senior member, deliver the oath to Roberts while his wife Jane held the Bible. Roberts, the Harvard-educated lawyer and skilled advocate who argued 39 cases before the Supreme Court, will return Friday to the marble courthouse where he has spent much of his professional life. When the court begins its new term Monday, he will usher in a new era, taking the center seat on the court's bench that William Rehnquist had occupied the previous 19 years.
