First we had Tom DeLay on the activist judges in the Schiavo case:
“The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior.”
Now we have Sen. John Cornyn noting that certain segments of the conservative base are, um, energized:
“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.”
What next, a severed horse head in Harry Reid’s bed?
