Judges beware!

It still amazes me to this day some of the bullshit Republicans will pull out of their asses and will actually say on the Senate floor (even when it's empty).

Senator John Cornyn had the balls to claim on the Senate floor that the recent violence against judges is to be blamed on "activist judges" (The cool, new Republican phrase).

Senator Cornyn:
"I don't know if there is a cause-and-effect connection, but we have seen some recent episodes of courthouse violence in this country. . . . 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, engage in violence. Certainly without any justification, but a concern that I have."

Now remember, the term "activist judges" relates to any judge that makes a ruling that a Republican/Conservative/Ball Sack doesn't agree with.

Let's look at the two most recent murder cases:
- In Chicago, a man fatally shot the husband and mother of a federal judge who had ruled against him in a medical malpractice suit.
- In Atlanta last month, a man broke away from a deputy and fatally shot four people, including the judge presiding over his rape trial.

Die, Activist Judges, Die!

Now unlike Tom "The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior" DeLay who has his underwear stuck up his ass because multiple state and federal judges obeyed the law in the Terri Schiavo case (Keep in mind, obeying the law is something DeLay seems to have trouble understanding).

Cornyn on the other hand is hopping mad about the Supreme Court's recent 5-4 decision to stop executing children in murder cases. Of course he claims "a lot of people" are distressed by this outcome.

"It causes a lot of people, including me, great distress to see judges use the authority that they have been given to make raw political or ideological decisions," he said. Sometimes, he said, "the Supreme Court has taken on this role as a policymaker rather than an enforcer of political decisions made by elected representatives of the people."

Of course, once again we have a politician speaking for "a lot of people" but the numbers just don't add up.

According to a CNN/USA TODAY/GALLUP poll, while 64 percent of American's support the death penalty, 69 percent oppose executing juveniles. So it seems Senator "Cocksucker" Cornyn is speaking on behalf of only 31 percent of the country...many of those I'm sure are from Texas; the state that not only executes the children, but the retarded.

So much for that "Culture of Life" thing I was hearing so much about.
