No he blundered egregiously by speaking of impeaching judges for reasons not recognized by the constitution as valid. He was not speaking of impeaching for the reasons the Founders intended but because he didn't LIKE their rulings.
This is not just a "sign of weakness" but a recognition that he screwed up big time. THAT at least is positive.
Differences of opinions in the judiciary were part of the design of the Founders since they specified that the grounds of impeachment were ONLY misbehavior NOT their opinions. It is probably one of the strengths of our system that such differences exist.
The only constitutional means of changing the courts are appointments even FDR eventually had to accept that fact. It would be just as wrong for the GOP to pack the Court as it would have been for him.

DeLay has been taken to the woodshed. He is now acknowledging that he let his shotgun mouth get ahead of his BB gun butt.
