I'm not a fan of Rick Perry's I think this indictment is pure baloney that does not comport with the intent or spirit of that law.
However, the courts deemed it reasonable and prudent to proceed, so the die is cast.

I thought all that has happened to far is a grand jury indictment. If I'm not mistaken judges don't really have a big say in that.

A grand jury did so.
The PIU, under former DA Ronnie Earle, has played games before in order to get the indictment they wanted.
It took THREE grand juries before Earle could finally get an indictment against Delay and the third one was empaneled specifically for that set of charges.
That's not even going into the Ex Post Facto questions regarding the case, as the law in question wasn't altered until after the activity in question. Under the US Constitution, someone cannot be tried for something which was legal at the time it occurred.
