A jury of your peers

Tom Delay has asked that the judge in his case be dismissed because he has contributed to Democrats and Moveon.org. Apparently in the new "culture war" America, only Republicans are allowed to judge Republicans. It's like some fucked-up Balkan border country where only Muslims can try Muslims, Christians can try Christians, and Left-handed Lesbian Eskimos can try creative-dominant Inuit muff-divers.
I guess that Tom Delay has the right to demand a jury of his peers; which means that bailiffs in Texas are going to soon be crashing every bris in the state. How else to round up that many dickheads?
