In case you haven't noticed, these kooks are taking over the government,
and suggesting that judges should be killed for handing down decisions
they don't like. One of them is my junior Senator.


Do you have a quote?

Look again. The agenda of the govt is driven by the Christian right wing
extremists.

Senator Cornyn:
"I don't know if there is a cause-and-effect connection but we have seen
some recent episodes of courthouse violence in this country. Certainly
nothing new, but we seem to have run through a spate of courthouse
violence recently that's been on the news and I wonder whether there may
be some connection between the perception in some quarters on some
occasions where judges are making political decisions yet are
unaccountable to the public, that it builds up and builds up and builds up
to the point where some people engage in - engage in violence."

So violence against judges is a natural outcome of the fact that they are
"unnaccountable to the public", (such unnaccountability being by design of
the framers of the Constitution, by the way).

Where does Senator Cornyn suggest that judges should be killed for handing
down decisions he doesn't like?

"Unaccountable to the public", but not unaccountable. The Constitution says
judges shall hold their offices during good behavior. Acting contrary to
the Constitution is clearly bad behavior.

He doesn't, directly. He suggests that violence against judges is a
natural consequence of them making "political decisions", which is code
phrase for "decisions I don't like".

"Unaccountable to the public", but not unaccountable. The Constitution says
judges shall hold their offices during good behavior. Acting contrary to
the Constitution is clearly bad behavior.

I haven't seen any judges acting contrary to the Constitution. On the
contrary, I see them restraining the Executive and Legislative branches
from overstepping their Constitutional authority time and time again.

Nor indirectly.

It's done regularly. If you're not aware of it you are grossly uninformed.

Can you cite any examples?

Two or Three Sundays ago Brian Lamb, the manager of C-Span, had a guy on his
Sunday night interview program who brags that he is the chief lobbyist for
the Christian Right in DC. He added that the Christian Right was not
organized nor a political force until he started organizing them at the end
of the 1980s, or thereabouts.

He then went on to say, "We, the Christian Right, are very pleased we
finally have our first president."

At that point I couldn't take anymore so I changed to the Comedy Channel.

The Christian Right's first president was Ronald Reagan.
