She's 100% right. A lot of the accusations, rhetoric, and proposals directed against judges have been over-the-top.

When there are judges that give children rapists weeks in jail or when they use international law to decide American case laws, they are over the top and deserve criticism.

She's not even close to being 100% correct, as much of the criticism, accusations, and rhetoric directed at the judiciary is dead on and justified.

It seems she can't even fathom the idea that the Courts have brought it on themselves by overstepping their bounds. But that really isn't surprising, since she seems to be of the mind that there are no bounds for judges. The Founders indeed hoped the judiciary would protect individual rights, but they never intended for them to create new 'rights' out of thin air on completely baseless constitutional grounds. The Courts were never intended to have as much power over society as they have given themselves. They can't become the arbiter over things they have no business sticking their noses in and not expect to be called out on it. In fact, they've gotten away with it for too long, and its about time that they heard about it.

This type of whining only confirms that judges increasingly see themselves and the judiciary as some superior entity that should be above reproach and criticism. They are so arrogant that they see such criticism as a threat to the very existence of our republic.




Senator Cornyn was a bit of a dope, however, when he mixed the attacks on judges last year with the political debate, as its almost certainly the case that those perps were acting out of personal motives, not political ones.
