[McGavin999]

Earl should be put in jail and the state should restore Delay’s finances. There should also be a very public attempt to restore his reputation as well. That’s the only way you will stop thugs in power from destroying people for the fun of it.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Earl should be in prison and his assets sold to pay DeLay’s legal costs. The county Earl worked for should pay the balance.
Trouble is, even with this, Tom DeLay was smeared for ten years...
