Stevo, thank you for the links and transcripts from Rush. (May not like his politics or how he presents them, but he is entertaining and can at times provide some good info.... even if it is biased and 1 sided.

They are not called to task enough on this IMHO. If the situation was slightly altered and it was a Democrat admin. asking the judges to intervene in a "conservative" issue" such as concealed weapons or something, in TX, can you imagine the uproar!?

I agree, but the Dems do the same thing. It's partisan politics and unfortunately, the mood in
BOTH parties now is that the other party is 100% evil and to disagree with them no matter what. It's sad because both parties offer good and valuable things.
My belief is if the GOP were to be truly fiscally conservative (as they say they are) and had less allegiance to the Religious Right and controlled government spending, while the Dems, controlled societal issues and kept programs alive, and the 2 parties could get along and work together, perhaps we'd have a much stronger country and a place where the pessimism our country now is flooded in would be optimism. (Of course there are those (on both sides) that truly want it all their way and would never ever want to share power, and that is what is destroying us..... too powerhungry, too greedy the parties are, not willing to work together.)
That's what made Clinton so hated and so loved (no in between) he wanted to take the best ideas from both parties and leave the hatemongering where it belonged.... in the trash. Unfortunately, that was his downfall, the Dems. wanted it all and failed to help him when he needed it. The GOP just hated him because they knew if he could achieve what he wanted they would really be a hurting party. So instead both parties worked to destroy Clinton.
