There is a good point laid out there. A large segment of the population, myself included to a lesser extent, don't like what some judges have been doing in the country. I'm sure that "liberals" here feel the same way sometimes, judges on either side of the spectrum have the ability to dictate law, which over steps their purpose of interpretation. I don't think Delay is wrong for saying that he can/will go after their bench, that is something that is allowed by the constitution. Just because you are judge you don't have a get out of jail free card, they may not be accountable to the general population, but they can be held accountable to the Congress. It is completely legit if people rally and push THEIR REPRESENTATIVES do something about it, that's why it is allowed in the constitution. For the record I don't advocate violence against judges, nor do I think John Cornyn does either, he just said something that was mildy retarded.
