"If he beats this rap in Austin, he will be back as majority leader, because nobody's going to tell him no." - Republican House aide speaking about Tom DeLay.

RELATED: Judge Pat Priest is expected to rule tomorrow on the motion to dismiss the indictment against DeLay. If the case goes to trial DeLay is history as majority leader.

***UPDATE****: Ruling came today. One indictment thrown out, one upheld. Doesn't look good, but very little info to go on at this point. More later.....
