After his grudging 'apology' for his intemperate language, Tom DeLay is continuing his attack on judges who do not rule the way he thinks they should. The Christian Science Monitor describes it like this:
Leading the charge against "activist" judges in the House, Texas Republican Tom DeLay is himself in danger of wrongheaded activism on this issue.
Taking steps to fulfill his promise that judges in the Terri Schiavo case would "answer for their behavior," majority leader DeLay last week asked the House Judiciary Committee to investigate federal court decisions related to the case, and come up with possible legislation. Mr. DeLay is furious with the judges for not intervening, calling the judiciary "out of control."
The proposed Constitution Restoration Act - in both the House and Senate - would restrict federal courts from cases involving the acknowledgment of God. Violation of this and other provisions would be an impeachable offense. Indeed, a cry is rising among some conservatives for "mass impeachments" of judges who don't strictly interpret the Constitution.
These people are not decent political opponents with whom sensible people can agree to disagree. Sensible people cannot do deals with them because they will renege in a heartbeat. They are bat-shit crazy, and it comes from fear of a society they do not understand and can't control. They're scared to death that there will be people out there (somewhere) who do or say things they don't approve of. Diversity and tolerance are ideas they consider anathema. They won't tolerate differences or disagreement with their beliefs, and they demand that everyone act as they order them to. And God forbid that the Courts reverse their intolerance laws!
This nation is suffering a rebellion against the Constitution, the Rule of Law, and the ideas of liberty, diversity and tolerance that have made it the great shining beacon of the world. The rebels are suffering a mass psychosis, and in their fear and madness they will do whatever it takes to force everyone else in America adjust to their sick idea of utopia. They will not compromise because that is a loss to their perfect vision. They will not be reasoned with because their vision of utopia is completely unreasonable. They have demonstrated that they will do whatever they can to totally subvert America and destroy the Constitution and the Rule of Law.
These next few years are going to be difficult ones for America. Tom DeLay is just a visible symptom of our difficulties.
