“Democratic-leaning panel to decide DeLay ballot status”

The San Antonio Express News reports that the panel selected to hear oral arguments in the Tom DeLay ballot access case Monday “will have a majority that was named to the court by then-President Bill Clinton: Judges Pete Benavides of Texas and James L. Dennis of Louisiana. The third judge will be Edith Clement, originally from Alabama.” On the rather conservative 5th Circuit, that is not a great draw for Republicans.
