Alabama’s Mike Rogers, a DeLay Rule man, tells the local paper, the Anniston Star, that the DeLay Rule was an effort to “raise the standard.”
“You have to look at protecting the institution,â Rep. Rogers told the paper on Thursday. “Iâm an attorney, and any attorney knows you can get an indictment with a ham sandwich. Weâre trying to raise the standard, to make it so that you donât allow what is purely a political indictment to make someone step aside from a leadership role.”
Protecting the institution.
Meanwhile, we now have Indiana Rep. Mark Souder down as a confirmed DeLay Rule man.
