"I believe we have a fair and independent judiciary today," said Frist, now trying to resolve a battle with Democrats over judicial nominations that threatens to tie his chamber into knots. "I respect that."

Fair yes, after all they do consider European precedent in holdings where they have sworn to obey the Supreme Law of the Land, taht being the Constituion and laws enacted by Congress. What could be more fair than that?

Independent? Certainly, they have decided they are a law unto themsleves. Sodomy is enshrined somewhere in the Constituion but the right to life of full term babies is not nor is the right of parents to approve of medical intervention in their young children.

Can't get much more independent than that.
