An End to Judiciary Independence?

Good Ole' Boy Tom DeLay has stepped in it again. He is paving the way for a Democrat Revolution. You would almost think he is tired of the Republic. So what did he do now?

WASHINGTON (AP) - House Majority Leader Tom DeLay says Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's work from the bench has been ``incredibly outrageous,'' his latest salvo at the federal judiciary in the weeks following the courts' refusal to stop Terri Schiavo's death.

DeLay also labeled a lot of the courts' Republican appointees as ``judicial activists,'' a term applied by conservatives to judges they dislike for not following what they call strict interpretations of the Constitution.

So he is not just unhappy with the Democrat appointments to the court but some of the Republican Justices don't please him either.

Well that should tell you something. And it is obvious. You can't trust Republicans. But that is only the warm up there is more.

The House has no power over which judges are given lifetime appointments to the federal bench.

However, DeLay has called repeatedly for the House to find a way to hold the federal judiciary accountable for its decisions. ``The judiciary has become so activist and so isolated from the American people that it's our job to do that,'' he said.

One way would be for the House Judiciary Committee to investigate the clause in the Constitution that says ``judges can serve as long as they serve with good behavior,'' he said. ``We want to define what good behavior means. And that's where you have to start.''

So there you have it. Congress gets to second guess every judicial decision. Not by passing laws, which is their job, but by intimidating judges by threats of removal from office.

In other words GOB (Good Ole' Boy) Tom wants an end to Republican Government. Evidently he would prefer an inquisition.

I have never seen a party work harder to loose the next election.

Perhaps it is time that DeLay stepped down. He is becoming a liability.
