What more evidence do you need that the right has gone off the deep end?
And I wonder whether there may be some connection between the perception in some quarters on some occasions where judges are making political decisions yet are unaccountable to the public, that it builds up and builds up and builds up to the point where some people engage in violence.
Um, need I remind people, it is the exact purpose of the judiciary to make decisions on what is constitutional, the interpretation of law, and that by its very makeup, that is not going to always be "popular"?
If you want popular, go see the musical Wicked. I promise you a rousing and funny song on the subject. If you want popular, elect the idiot in Oklahoma who sterilized a young girl against her wishes. You want popular? Travel back in time to when slavery or misogyny was "popular." We rely on the judiciary, and their lifetime appointments, to make decisions that are not always popular. The Dred Scott case was "popular!"
My gods and goddesses, what the hell? This is what you want out of our country? And you wonder why the left questions what is going on in this day and age? Because the right wing crackpots are ruining this GD country! (Sorry, I'm really angry over this.)
We have a Senator, one Senator John Cornyn of Texas (of course he's from Texas, and here's another link) saying that judges are bringing it on themselves?
Just like rape victims bring it on themselves. Right?

Perhaps "How would you have ruled on Terri Shiavo?" will become the next litmus test for judicial appointments, right along with "How opposed to abortion are you?"
