Impeach Kennedy for Being Supremacist Judge?Or Just Kill Him

Yes, but Piffka - a bunch of apparent loonies at some sort of conference does not equal the US Senate/Congress, does it?

(Genuine questions, by the way - remember I am a long way away!

Our left and right moan and whinge about judicial decisions sometimes - and try to exert pressure - but actually removing a judge??? Whoa! I know our system is a bit different, though.

Here, they just about have to be caught taking money, or being sucked off from under the bench!)

The conference was organized during the height of the Schiavo controversy by a new group, the Judeo-Christian Council for Constitutional Restoration. This was no collection of fringe characters. The two-day program listed two House members; aides to two senators; representatives from the Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America; conservative activists Alan Keyes and Morton C. Blackwell; the lawyer for Terri Schiavo's parents; Alabama's "Ten Commandments" judge, Roy Moore; and DeLay, who canceled to attend the pope's funeral.

In 1974 an obscure 40-year-old Baptist minister from Lynchburg, Va., traveled to California to preach in the church of a popular pastor, the author of a Christian best seller about how faith builds character. But when Jerry Falwell arrived at Tim LaHaye's San Diego church, he had a lowercase revelation: LaHaye wasn't just a lively preacher and writer, he was a powerful political operative. LaHaye's organization, Californians for Biblical Morality, had mobilized evangelical Christians and, in doing so, had helped elect Ronald Reagan governor. "I realized I wanted to do the same thing on a national basis," Falwell recalled in an interview with NEWSWEEK. "Tim was my inspiration."

Of such moments is history made. Since the mid-'70s the rise of religious conservatives in pop culture, publishing and politics has been a profound trend in American life, reaching its zenith, perhaps, in the "Left Behind" series?-and in the pastorate-presidency of George W. Bush. In politics, Falwell went on to found the Moral Majority, which helped elect Reagan president?-and George H.W. Bush as vice president?-in 1980. LaHaye and his wife, Beverly, were players in Reagan's Washington, too?-he as a founding board member of the Moral Majority; she as head of Concerned Women for America. Until the heady '80s, Protestant evangelicals largely had shunned electoral politics. Now they were full partners in the conservative movement.

Which is where Bush the Younger enters ...

A judge in Atlanta and the husband and mother of a judge in Chicago were murdered in recent weeks. After federal courts spurned a request from Congress to revisit the Terri Schiavo case, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) said that "the time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior." Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) mused about how a perception that judges are making political decisions could lead people to "engage in violence."

I think this is completely overdone. The killings had nothing to do with the Republican party.

One would certainly hope that is true, but the Stalin quote is a pretty strange way to discuss getting rid of a Supreme, doncha think?

If this keeps up the US will be asked to leave the Liberal Democratic States club. When that happens I think it will behove the rest of us to attend your shores (those that can't get into Canada or Mexico for refuge) and take refugees off the beaches much like the rescue of the British Expeditionary Force at Dunkirk in 1940. I hope you don't get seasick.

Federal criminal statute, 18 U.S.C. §115 (a)(1)(B). That law states:

"Whoever threatens to assault…. or murder, a United States judge… with intent to retaliate against such… judge…. on account of the performance of official duties, shall be punished [by up to six years in prison]"

Demos say views too extreme for bench

WASHINGTON -- It was November 2003, and Senate Democrats had just repulsed another attempt to confirm Alabama Attorney General William Pryor for a lifetime judgeship on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

But in a downtown Washington hotel ballroom, dozens of lawyers rose to honor him. The occasion was a national gathering of the Federalist Society, a conservative legal organization, and the standing ovation came even though Pryor was only moderating a panel discussion....

...Schumer and Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., both questioned another speech that Pryor ended with the prayer, "Please, God, no more Souters." The reference was to Supreme Court Justice David Souter.

This I found most amazing.

Maybe I was taught incorrectly, but I recall from my citizenship classes that it is the Supreme Court's job to interpret the Constitution. If it's not what they say it is, who gets to say what it is?
