Here's the juicy bit

 

Not to be outdone, lawyer-author Edwin Vieira told the gathering that Kennedy should be impeached because his philosophy, evidenced in his opinion striking down an anti-sodomy statute, "upholds Marxist, Leninist, satanic principles drawn from foreign law."

 

Ominously, Vieira continued by saying his "bottom line" for dealing with the Supreme Court comes from Joseph Stalin. "He had a slogan, and it worked very well for him, whenever he ran into difficulty: 'no man, no problem,' " Vieira said.

 

The full Stalin quote, for those who don't recognize it, is "Death solves all problems: no man, no problem." Presumably, Vieira had in mind something less extreme than Stalin did and was not actually advocating violence. But then, these are scary times for the judiciary. An anti-judge furor may help confirm President Bush's judicial nominees, but it also has the potential to turn ugly.

 

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."

 

"The people who have been speaking out on this, like Tom DeLay and Senator Cornyn, need to be backed up," Schlafly said to applause yesterday. One worker at the event wore a sticker declaring "Hooray for DeLay."

 

What an asshat.

Notice all the quotes were Texans, like they are the only conservatives in the world. More media attacks against Texans. :headshake

So you think its ok for Congressmen to say you can understand why someone would want to murder a judge if they're from Texas?

but are they asshats and sox fans?

I think if someone from Idaho said it, it wouldn't get national attention. The only other Senator to be quoted just happened to be from Texas? That's a 50-1 shot. Just proving the Texas bias in the media. I haven't read one positive piece on Delay in months. Talk about unbalanced, biased, coverage. 100% negative articles. :headshake

Maybe its because there's very little positive about DeLay. Does coverage of Chappaquiddick in 1980 during Kennedy's run for the Presidency show a then anti-Massachussets bent to the media?

Are you trying to deny a media bias against Texas? It's everywhere.

I just don't see that sorry.

Texas is a natural target.

Well, it's soooo BIG...
