Oh, and the judge was black. Here's some of the transcript:
This is despicable. DeLay never called for the death or harm of any judge. Law & Order's producers and writers are making an obvious political statement to imply DeLay wishes harm to judges, and it was more than just a coincidence that the judge killed in this episode was black. So not only are they trying to picture DeLay supporters as knee-jerk reactionary extremists, but they're also racist. What lowlifes.ADA RON CARVER (COURTNEY B. VANCE) : An african-american judge, an appellate court judge, no less.
MAN: Chief of DS is setting up a task force. People are talking about multiple assassination teams.
DET. ALEX EAMES (KATHRYN ERBE): Looks like the same shooters. CSU found the slug in a post, matched it to the one that killed Judge Barton. Maybe we should put out and apb for somebody in a Tom DeLay t-shirt.
