DeLay calls for revenge against Schiavo judges |
New York Times / March 31, 2005
Even Death Does Not Quiet Harsh Political Fight
By CARL HULSE and DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK
WASHINGTON - The political battle over Terri Schiavo erupted anew on
Thursday as conservatives portrayed her death as the result of an
unaccountable judiciary and Representative Tom DeLay, the House
majority leader, threatened retribution against the judges who refused
to intercede in the case.
"The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for
their behavior, but not today," said Mr. DeLay, who was instrumental in
pushing emergency legislation that gave the federal courts jurisdiction
over Ms. Schiavo's care, only to see them decline to order her feeding
tube restored. Saying that the courts "thumbed their nose at Congress
and the president," Mr. DeLay, of Texas, suggested Congress was
exploring responses and declined to rule out the possibility of
Congressional impeachment of the judges involved.
Democrats, who had for the most part stayed on the political sidelines
as Republicans pushed the Schiavo cause, immediately seized on Mr.
DeLay's remarks.
"Mr. DeLay's comments today were irresponsible and reprehensible," said
Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, who said he was
uncertain what Mr. DeLay's intent was. "But at a time when emotions are
running high, Mr. DeLay needs to make clear that he is not advocating
violence against anyone. People in this case have already had their
lives threatened."
Dr. James C. Dobson, the founder of the evangelical group Focus on the
Family, said the judges who would not stop the removal of Ms. Schiavo's
feeding tube were "guilty not only of judicial malfeasance - but of the
cold-blooded, cold-hearted extermination of an innocent human life."

"Mr. DeLay does have odor issues. Increasingly, he smells just like the
Beltway itself."
- 3/28/05 Wall Street Journal Editorial
"Every time the federal courts issue rulings over internal matters of
the several states, they do lasting damage to our system of federalism
- and thus to the rule of law and to our liberties."
- Rush Limbaugh, Introduction to "Men in Black" by Mark Levin

If Dobson did not like it that is a clear indication it was the
correct thing to do.
