Comeuppance

Today’s Washington Post had a quote from Senator John Cornyn, a Republican from the fine state of Texas, in regards to the apparent rash of judge murders that we’ve had in the country of late. Senator Cornyn, not one to be left without an answer whenever one of life’s great mysteries rears its head, had this to say in regards to those who would ask wherefore:

"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."

In other words, if you are a judge making a “political” (read: liberal) decision and you are murdered, you obviously deserved it and brought it upon yourself.

Your elected representatives, my good people.

I wonder what the Distinguished Gentleman would have to say about the Supreme Court Justices making what is very arguably a “political” ruling in 2000 on the Bush vs. Gore case.
