State Republican Executive Committee (Texas) to consider calling for DeLay pardon

[no_hypocrisy]

Members of the State Republican Executive Committee will consider a resolution this weekend calling on Gov. Rick Perry to immediately pardon former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who last week was convicted on felony counts of conspiracy and money laundering.

The call for a pardon will be presented Friday to the SREC’s Resolutions Committee. If approved there, it would go to the full SREC. Of course, it carries no legal weight in DeLay’s case.

The SREC consists of two members from each of the state’s 31 Senate districts, and it serves as a board of directors, of sorts, for the state party. Members are elected at the state GOP convention.
