Another GOP Member Of Congress Links Judicial Decisions To Violence...
The conservative crybabies that regularly infest my site and implore me to throw other liberals under the bus should take a good long look at the vomit being spewed by yet another arrogant GOP zero. In this case, it's Senator John Cornyn of (what a shocker!) Texas:
"It causes a lot of people, including me, great distress to see judges use the authority that they have been given to make raw political or ideological decisions," he said. Sometimes, he said, "the Supreme Court has taken on this role as a policymaker rather than an enforcer of political decisions made by elected representatives of the people."
Cornyn continued: "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. . . . 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. Certainly without any justification, but a concern that I have."
That's right genius, activist judges and inactivist judges alike deserve to suffer for decisions that GOP assholes don't like.
Did you ever think you'd see a US Senator trying to justify terrorism on the floor of the Senate?
UPDATE: ThinkProgress has the video of Sen. Cornyn turning the gun on himself...
