"It was appalling when the House majority leader threatened political retribution against judges who did not toe his extremist political line. But when a second important Republican stands up and excuses murderous violence against judges as an understandable reaction to their decisions, then it is time to get really scared."
Editorial From The New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/06/opinion/06wed1.html To me it sounds like we've got a formally federalist Republican party that is now nationalist. As such they've decided that the 3 branches of government should really be 2 - that is, they are saying the judiciary should have no authority and no power. That's scary to me because I've always looked at the law, and therefore the judiciary, as protecting the rights of the minority. The Republicans seem to be saying that law should be a matter public opinion rather than fundamental rights. Fairly scary stuff. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:152950 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
