Perhaps those that hate Jeb for not being Christ should consider listening to Mark's show. He rightly blasted you for making Jeb and any of the Republicans scapegoats for this evil and put it where it belongs. On the Judiciary.

I thank JEB BUSH. I thank the President. I thank Frist, Santorum and Delay. I thank the rest of the Republicans for standing firm in the face of ignorance and Death cultists on one side, and ingratitude and lack of understanding of the Constitution on the other.

I was one, who while Terri was alive, pushed, prodded, cajoled, and urged Governor Bush to do more - even going in with subpoenas blazing. But he did more than I probably would have - it is time to move on - not forgetting Terri but using her memory to prod us to join with the moral Democrats and change this country by ousting judges who put ideology above justice.

The Constitution is a dead letter in 2005. Unlimited judicial power, a concept unheard of to our Founding Fathers, has enabled the justices to interpret that document at their whim. The legislative and executive branches at both the State and Federal level cower to the judiciary. There are no effective brakes on their power. Lifetime tenure on the Federal bench and the very infrequent use of the power of impeachment (14 times in the 216 year life of this republic against standing Federal judges) have liberated the judiciary to do all they please.

The GOP controls both houses of Congress, the Presidency, as well as the governor's office in Florida and the legislature of that state. Yet all of these people took no effective action against Judge Greer, who is, BTW, a Republican.

No amount of huckstering the GOP label can change things. We have had the GOP control the White House for 18 of the last 30 years. The Republicans have held at least one house of Congress for 16 of the last 30 years. Yet on our Supreme Court, only Thomas, Scalia, and Rehnquist can be considered conservative. Keep in mind that seven of the nine justices were appointed under Republican administrations.

This system is broke, maybe irrevocably. Until someone with more guts than Jeb Bush confronts this judicial tyranny, we should no longer call ourselves a representative republic with free elections and an established Constitution.
