Today:
U.S. Senate Republican leader Bill Frist said on Tuesday that courts had acted fairly in the Terri Schiavo "right-to-die" case, differing sharply from a vow of retribution by his House of Representatives counterpart, Tom DeLay.March 17th:
"I believe we have a fair and independent judiciary today," said Frist, now trying to resolve a battle with Democrats over judicial nominations that threatens to tie his chamber into knots. "I respect that."
"One of the first tasks we will have is this whole confirmation of judges. This is at the top of the challenges that we must overcome in this Congress. We all know that activist judges in the past have recently cited international law written by U.N. bureaucrats. They directly undermine marriage being between a man and a woman. They struck down our partial-birth abortion bans. And these activist judges are not interpreting the Constitution. They’re rewriting it, and that’s wrong. And it’s something that I know you’re committed to, and I’m committed to…We know we’re right and we want to win. We want to protect marriage from activist judges once and for all and we will do it."What a total douche. There's lot of talk being thrown around about the Dem's pushing Cornyn to resign. Ever the weasily slimebag, Frist is doing a major retreat.
I think they know they've pushed to far. Look for the BSC's in Congress to try and become more "moderate", especially as the mid-terms get closer.
