Interesting opinion piece from a South Texas daily I used to work for in a former life. :o)

"But when she suggests that judges should be beyond rebuke, or that Americans who criticize judges are somehow complicit in fomenting violence against them."

Sounds like the democratic and communist parties talking points, not to mention the Op ed page of any number of leftist rags.

I've often wondered how it has come to this.

Critizing paid government employees who literally have the power over life and death in their palms, who not elected, but appointed, and are now considered above critizm.

We can knock congressmen, senators, mayors, governors, even the President, but dare say a word about a judge, and behold, we have an enemy of democracy.

I've said before the left has gone insane, my proof (or just a recent example), verbal attacks on unelected government employees is an attack on democracy.

And yes, I aware we are a republic not a democracy, article 4, section 4, US constitution.

I think judges are destroying the fabric that holds our nation together. I'm still gonna say it even if it means I go to jail one day. Tough! It's the truth.

Just like a liberal, somebody does something bad, so we find others to blame for the bad person's behavior. It's scary that we have so many judges like this woman.

Judges are just going to face the fact that when they decide political questions and take them away from the legislatures where they properly belong, they are going to get the same kind of criticism politicians get. Be careful what you ask for.

So why do judges think they are the only ones in public above criticism.? It can't be for corruption, stupid rulings, activist rulings, or scandalous private lives can it?

"In this age of mass communication, harsh rhetoric is truly dangerous."

Since only LIBS seem to ingage in "Harsh Rhetoric",I'll be waiting for her verbal slapping of the DemonRATS.........(sound of crickets chirping)
