AUSTIN -- A state appeals court justice wants the Texas Supreme Court to intervene after she says Chief Justice Ken Law refused to file her dissent in a case involving two associates of former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.
Justice Jan Patterson, a Democrat on the Austin-based 3rd Court of Appeals , claims that Law, a Republican who's up for re-election, blocked the filing of her dissent to a ruling last week that overruled a motion asking Justice Alan Waldrop to step aside in the money-laundering case involving DeLay's associates, the Austin American-Statesman reports in its Tuesday editions.

Waldrop wrote an opinion in August that upheld the constitutionality of the law on money laundering but warned that the prosecutors had a fatal flaw in their case, a view that two trial judges and one other appellate judges have disagreed with.
Waldrop, Law and a third Republican justice, Robert Pemberton, wrote that the charges against DeLay and his associates should be dismissed because they used a check, not cash, in their transaction. Waldrop argued that the law -- before it was changed in 2005 -- did not cover checks during the 2002 election.
