Re: "Ok Republicans are we up to the task of criticizing our own judicial appointees and impeach them like we are threatening to do with the Democrats?"

I sure am but I have been suggesting all over the place the GOP is behind more of this than people want to admit.

As to the notion the GOP Congress has been courageous.... //spweeee// I don't mean to laugh in your face but come on now. Impeachment would be courageous backing off Contempt of Congress charges is just plain lily livered chicken sh!#. What about hearings? Baseball, Alar, left handled Toilet seats yes, judicial abuse of power forgetaboutit.

Do you realize every single Federal court in the land is a creation of Congress except SCOTUS? Start a little reshuffling of the court district deck and a few judges will get a pink slip, impeachment not necessary. You think that might get noticed by the courts? Too radical for you how about a little cut in the budget? Tell the judges they can do without the official judicial brownhatter (a British Navy term not fit for public explanation).

These judges talk to the leadership in the other branches much more than we realize and about what they are going to do. The GOP is part of the problem and I feel the fool for supporting them all these years.

"I feel the fool for supporting them all these years."

Me, too. Money, time and shoe leather. When I got into local politics here in Texas we held the state convention in a phone booth.

Now a majority the state RINOs are doing stuff that would have caused a conservative a heart attack had it been the dims doing it.

Can you image what the mood would be had this happened during the Clinton administration?

My new tag line is going to be "I didn't leave the republican party, the party left me".
