DeLay Plots Against Federal Judges In Attempt to "Educate the American People"

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/20/politics/20delay.html

The New York Times reports that "Representative Tom DeLay, the House majority
leader, sharply criticized Justice Anthony M. Kennedy of the Supreme Court on
Tuesday and said the House Judiciary Committee would explore what the authors of
the Constitution intended when they said federal judges hold their post on the
basis of good behavior."

"We want to define what good behavior means," Mr. DeLay said in an extended
appearance on a Fox News radio show in which Tony Snow was host.

The article goes on to say that "Mr. DeLay, who described the federal courts on
Tuesday as the 'left's last legislative body,' has intensified his criticism of
the judiciary since federal judges refused to intervene in the case of Terri
Schiavo. He said he could not predict whether Congress might try to remove any
federal judges as a result of the committee's review."

"What we're going to do is we're going to look at this issue and look at the
Constitution, try to educate the American people as to what the checks and
balances are, and who knows where that will lead us," Mr. DeLay said.

DeLay and the Republicans, who wish to impeach federal judges who don't rule in
their favor, wish to educate the American people as to what the check and
balances are? Outrageous! Especially after admitting that THEY (the
Republcans) wish to define "what good behavior means".

Stalin had similar feelings against judges.

6. I am suspicious...

Judging by how much bolder delay seems be getting each day, in the face of mounting criticism everywhere, I am suspicious that he has dirt on Rove and you-know-who.

I heard (didn't see it myself) Rove appeared on CNN and brushed off Delay's problems as "tactics of desperate democrats who have no ideas of their own".
