Just when you thought there wouldn't be anymore, another Congressman has made some irresponsible comments.

Senator Links Violence To 'Political' Decisions

"Sen. John Cornyn said yesterday [today] that recent examples of courthouse violence may be linked to public anger over judges who make politically charged decisions without being held accountable."

Now this in itself is irresponsible, but he goes on.

"I don't know if there is a cause-and-effect connection, but we have seen some recent episodes of courthouse violence in this country. . . . And 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. Certainly without any justification, but a concern that I have."

Ok, now to me this is irresponsible at best, and inciting violence against judges at worst. Either way it is WRONG! Rep. Conyers had, this to say, and I think he says it best.

"This apparent effort to rationalize violence against judges is deplorable. On its face, while it contains doubletalk that simultaneously offers a justification for such violence and then claims not to, the fundamental core of the statement seems to be that judges have somehow brought this violence on themselves. This also carries an implicit threat: that if judges do not do what the far right wants them to do (thus becoming the 'judicial activists' the far right claims to deplore), the violence may well continue.

If this is what Senator Cornyn meant to say, it is outrageous, irresponsible and unbecoming of our leaders...
...there is no excuse, no excuse, for a Member of Congress to take our discourse to this ugly and dangerous extreme.

My message is not subtle today. It is simple. To my Republican colleagues: you are playing with fire, you are playing with lives, and you must stop."

Like I said, what Cornyn said is wrong! This needs to stop, and it needs to stop immediately. These Republican representatives are walking a fine line, or as Rep. Conyers said, they are "playing with fire". WE THE PEOPLE can not let this continue. I implore all of you to fight this fundamentalism, to fight this dangerous rhetoric, and demand your representatives are a picture of the utmost responsibility!

Are union is in danger, I don't mean to be overly dramatic, but it has begun, these people want a theocracy, and they are beginning that process. Make no mistake, they are not out to make sure judges are not activists, and politically motivated, but as Rep. Conyers said, they are making sure that no judges remain in our high courts that would rule against THEIR political ideology!

FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!!

Where do you start? Fight power with knowledge, that is the first step.
