Lamar Smith (R-TX, 21) took DeLay's place at the conference. So there you have another prominent Republican in attendance. Smith is a member of the House ethics committee. He is also on the Judiciary Committee and is poised to become its next chairperson. This should be exposed.
Paul, with all due respect how is attending an event and happening to encounter one speaker at the event who says something stupid indicative that the attendee endorsed, or was even aware in advance, what the speaker was going to say?
What, exactly, are you advocating, other than a form of "guilt by association"?
The conference was named "Remedies to Judicial Tyranny". That alone would give one pause, i'd think. Especially if you're a prominent politician who is on the judiciary committe.
The name of the conference doesn't exactly lend itself to assumptions that it will be something besides extremist in nature.
From Washington Times interview with DeLay:
Mr. Hurt: Have you ever crossed the line of ethical behavior in terms of dealing with lobbyists, your use of government authority or with fundraising?
Mr. DeLay: Ever is a very strong word.
