I understand your point about Delay (I don't know if you caught some of Cornyn's recent remarks, but they were a little over the top as well.) But it's not exactly news that Lott and Frist are gutless. McConnell is usually pretty good. If Frist wants to tone down the rhetoric, I understand that, but "fair and impartial" does not describe our current judiciary, and even President Bush has said as much. No?
I know. I was surprised that Cornyn implied, basically, that some of these judges deserved getting shot.
I don't know what's gotten into some of these Republicans. Inciting hatred of judges and linking arms with abortion-doctor-killer-lovers like Randall Terry is definitely not helpful.
