The courts were caught between a rock and a hard place. Move too slow, and they'd be accused of deliberately dragging their feet while Schiavo wasted away. Move too fast, and they'd be accused of not giving enough time for proper review. I think most judges take their non-partisanship very seriously. Most do a great job. Then you must dislike the Constitution. It was designed to have the representatives of the people create laws and the judicial branch compare those laws to the words written in The Constitution. A minority of judges uphold that standard. More create new rights out of whole cloth. DeLay's attack on the judicial branch is both outrageous and frightening. Without our strong judicial branch, our political system would be just like any other country than claims to have a democracy but falls short. Representative DeLay and many other concerned people point out the excesses of judges who ignore the laws and The Constitution. You may not like having people who violate their oaths of office held responsible for it, but federal judges have a primary responsibility to The Constitution. Why is it that you single out TOm DeLay when a preponderance of people are critical of the imperial courts? what did Reagan have to do with the fall of communism? Using your logic, speeders coincidently slow down in front of police. Police probably have no effect on criminal activity. Rudi Gulianni's increase in the police force was merely coincidental to the fall in New York crime. It would have fallen without the extra officers.
