I also posted the article to a parallel thread
" Delay Test on Delay":

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1498100/posts?page=58#58

In that thread there was some doubt, because of the pretrial nature of grand jury proceedings, that there would be a failure of the ripeness test for Delay to get into federal court on a Due Process issue. ( ie. that Delay would have to be in jail after sentencing before
a case could be brought in federal court!) Do you think that certiorari with mandamus in aid might be something that Guerin will pursue if he gets the evidence he needs from Earle's aids ?

I think we might be into a situation where there could be new law made here on the 14th amendment, that is if Guerin gets the evidence he's after via the subpoena process.

Wouldn't it be great if a federal court quashed the Texas indictment? I mean here we have the Republican House whip out of harness because of a politically motivated indictment? We are now living in interesting times!
