Keep at it Delay

Tom Delay and John Cornyn think the judiciary (most of whom were appointed by Republican presidents) are liberal activists, despite the fact that the judges in the tragic Schiavo case were simply upholding precedent, and reflecting the wishes of most Americans for the government, especially the federal government, to stay out of private family matters.

Yes, it is Delay and Cornyn who are the radicals.

And now they are seeking an expanded power for Congress to keep judges on a short leash. But even the President is distancing himself from this effort, at least publicly, and and talking ubout how important checks and balances are.

Excuse me while I smirk.

Do as I say, not as I do.

In any event, the President may have, for once, been looking at the polls, and with 41% of Republicans saying they lost respect for Congress over the Schiavo case, maybe Delay should too.

But that's the beauty about idealogues and demagogues- they always end up with enough rope to hang themselves on.

So, the more the Delays and the Cornyns in this world rant and rave, the closer the Great Republican Consensus (of old-school libertarians and the social conservative white, rural, religious working class) gets to unravelling.

Somebody make some popcorn.
