OK see these are reasonable objections, which I can respect much more than a mindless repetion of she was brain-dead, she was brain-dead.
A couple of things, where I see activism is not so much Judge Greer -- though I question whether he did his job properly -- as in the judge, I forget his name, who was supposed to revie the facts and did not because he felt the law directing him to do so was wrong. Perhaps it was, but in my view the harm potentially done by not following the law die to his own opinion (activism) outweighed the harm that could have been done by following it. Another quibble, my comments referred to Cornyn's remarks, which I said were not a threat but seemed to condone violence. If I recall Delay's remarks correctly, I would say they were in fact a threat but not of violence.
