Senator Bill Frist (R-TN) comments on the Democrats opposition of some of the judicial nominees by the Republicans with “…judges deserve respect, not retaliation…”.
The Republican House majority leader Tom Delay (R-TX), however, has been spewing hate against “liberal” judges for months, most recently against Judge Anthony Kennedy.
If you didn’t know better, you could take Mr. Frist’s comments as a swipe against Tom Delay. That would be most welcome, but that isn’t the case here. Instead Republicans are engaging in pandering of the most basic kind.
