Pat, do a little more research, both on DeLay and on the filibuster.
The family-hiring thing is only an aside to his kornokopic kaleidoscope of klannish korruption.

I’ve read the above link which is probably typical of what you are referring to.
First off if this is illegal then prosecute the man.  Personally I don’t care about the man one way or the other

The filibuster rules date back to Athenian Democracy. It is a primary bulwark of balance of power. And remember, what goes around comes around.
Yes I know and I know why this would open up a can of worms. I say do it. Live with it either way. I mean we elect these people to vote. What if the public decided to filibuster and election? I think it would go on just the same

Or maybe you sympathise with fascism
So if I agree with lifting the filibuster that makes me a facist?
 in which case I'm, regretfully, going to have to kill you. Or maybe I could get Will to do it, as it would be less of a commute for him...
Send him over and I’ll give him a copy of the DVD which I’ve been meaning to do if I can ever get over to Z-Tejas on a Wednesday and those copies of Triage that Ian sent me to give to him.  He is a softie.

Send over Sean then I’ll know you are serious J

Also, I forwarded the email from the Pacific Amphitheatre to Dave Ricketts. I'll see what he says back, and keep you all posted.
I’m surprised you would be up for it. I’ll bet we would have a tough time getting tickets with it being in the L.A.  area. Maybe reserve a up-front section for everyone and put me over in the corner with Dale J
