Tom DeLay just doesn't have the Constitution for the job

In DeLay's own words:
My action was taken in accordance with Texas law, federal precedent and common sense. I felt it was my duty to allow Texas Republicans to choose a new candidate for the Fall Election Ballot.Supreme Court Justice Scalia refused to hear DeLay's appeal, but the last Appelate decision said:
[...]
Unfortunately, the Federal courts have slammed the door shut on a fair ballot choice between two 22nd District residents representing our two major parties.
the Constitution and Texas law barred tampering with candidate lists.So DeLay is ignoring the will of the voters, the Constitution, and every state and federal judge who ever heard the case, including Scalia.
Indeed, the judges said, "it was the voters themselves who selected DeLay as the Republican candidate for the general election."

Anyone else remember the rethugs shouting 'rule of law, rule of law' during the 2000 Bush v. Gore election?
