So-called Christians say threatening judges is A-OK
Posted by Jill | 6:19 PM

When the heck are mainstream Christian denominations going to speak out against these lunatics? The longer they remain silent, the more I have no choice but to believe that they agree with them.

This from the wackjobs at Agape Press:

...A conservative activist says some U.S. Supreme Court justices appear to be getting a little agitated with the criticism that's mounting against them. Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is not happy with all of the current criticism focusing on "judicial activism." Jan LaRue of Concerned Women for America says O'Connor has trashed critics of the judiciary. "She actually, in her public statement, linked criticism from extremists to the serious threats that she and other judges receive -- and I think that is very unfair," she says. "It's baseless." LaRue says Justice O'Connor's comments also fly in the face of the First Amendment free-speech rights of all Americans. O'Connor is one of what critics call the "un-American six" who have ignored the Constitution's claim that it -- not foreign law -- is the final authority in the high court's rulings. [Bill Fancher]


Here's what O'Connor -- appointed by Saint Ronnie Reagan -- said:

It didn't occur to me that there would be as many threats, and I do receive them...I don't think the harsh rhetoric helps. I think it energizes people who are a little off base to take actions that maybe they wouldn't otherwise take.

"... I hope that we will see an end to this, but it won't happen right away, and it will take the work of thoughtful citizens who say, 'We don't want to have this from either extreme, so let's move on.'"


One of these days, some nut like Eric Rudolph, all hopped up on Jesus and testosterone, is probably going to take a shot at one of these judges, and then everyone's going to wonder why.

And Tom DeLay will be the first one to claim he has no responsibility in fanning those flames.
