DeLay Judge Stays -- for now?

My Way News:

"On Friday, Jefferson sent a letter to Earle and to DeLay's lawyer Dick DeGuerin denying Earle's motion that Jefferson recuse himself. The chief justice said the responsibility for assigning judges ends with his office and that his appointment of Priest stands.

Earle had no immediate comment Friday.

Priest, 64, does not appear to be connected to high-profile party candidates or causes. Priest gave $450 to three Democratic members of the Texas House in 2004, campaign records show. He said that's all he has contributed.

'I'm cheap,' Priest told the San Antonio Express-News."
