Austin, Texas - The prosecution of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay could be stalled for weeks or even months while Texas' highest criminal court decides whether a dismissed conspiracy charge against him should be reinstated.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals is set to hear arguments Wednesday on the conspiracy charge - part of the criminal case that helped drive DeLay from office.
Prosecutors want the charge reinstated, but attorneys for DeLay and two co-defendants contend a lower appellate court correctly ruled that the law was not in effect when the alleged conspiracy occurred in 2002.
DeLay's trial on remaining felony conspiracy and money laundering charges must wait until the state's highest criminal court rules, which could be weeks or months after Wednesday's hearing.

Russian and Iran are getting too close for comfort Russia sells missles to Iran
Since you are busy summing up the blow by blow of the Scooter trial I'll keep you updated on World News.
News you can use on China
Thanks for the update. I know that there is more going on this world than the Libby trial. Got caught in too much work today. Russia sells missles to Iran. We just got finished with the Gerbil's speech last night and now Russia sells missles. Seems like the allies are working together...
Another criminal back in the news I almost forgot about DeLay.
I knew the world leaders would be up to getting nukes as the US gave them to Israel, Pakistan and India.
Now Iran and North Korea have a good point, the US gives who they want to Nukes yet tell other countries they have to have approval from the UN.
I saw Cheney getting interviewed by Wolf Blitzer tonight, when Wolf asked about the 6th grandchild from daughter Mary and Cheney said he was out of line when he asked questions on the family unit. And Cheney was fluffed up. Also Cheney said he would of rather had Denny there instead of Nancy.
Maybe Wolf should of asked Cheney if wife Lynne is busy writing more books! (oh, could you imagine what other skeletins are in the Cheney closets!)On top of all kinds of money to rebuild Iraq that has vanished.......with no results.....
Now the Iran thing. They are just baiting the Gerbil, and he had best not take the bait, all the time Ahmadjinead grinning, the Gerbil is up to his eyeballs and then some in the current mess.
Blitzer needs some backboned knock the low battery on the pacemaker Co-President Cheney down a peg.
