Making sure the Judicial Branch is protected from political forces is a terrific idea, the very foundation of our form of government.

Until it inconveniences the Left's never-ending drive to insinuate it's agenda into every nook and cranny of our society.

Well, from Article III the congress has lots of power it is too frightened to use against our runaway courts.

This kind of attempted political intervention in the judicial process at the highest level, the Supreme Court, is outrageous but typical of the constitution-hating left that controls the Democrat party. Republican senators have a golden opportunity to excoriate the Democrats for this high-handed political interference in a Supreme Court case being reviewed but of course they are effectively silent, as usual, except when running for re-election as 'conservatives'. Then they'll tell us how terrible this kind of intervention by leftist Democrats really is but the 'political climate' wasn't right for them to express their opinion at the time.

The reality is that the left has the GOP establishment scared to death of losing the 'women's vote' with the Democrat's 'war on women' meme and they fear that opposing the Democrat attempt to influence the Supreme Court on the contraception issue that Obamacare has brought will hurt their RINO candidates in November. This mindset ignores the fact that the establishment GOP is losing the conservative vote big-time for their timidity in just such situations as this.
