First Blood.

In a civil case brought by ousted Texas Dems, a judge finds Bill Ceverha, treasurer of Tom DeLay’s TRMPAC, in violation of state election laws by not reporting over $680,000 in campaign contributions. This case doesn’t specifically involve Boss DeLay (although the related criminal proceedings well might), but it may bring public focus back to the Hammer, now that the nuclear standoff has been temporarily defused.
