Subject: 3 Branches

This is the United States.
We have 3 branches of government.
The Judicial, the Executive and the Legislative.
We don’t want tyrants.
Irresponsible and angry politicians like Tom Delay and self promoting ministers like Pat Robertson are making trouble.
Judge Lefkow in Illinois was the victim of judicial revenge. The attacker killed her husband and mother. The murderer would have killed Judge Lefko as well but she wasn’t home.
Judge Lefkow is right in saying that attacks on the judicial branch by televangelist Pat Robertson and some members of Congress create an atmosphere of disrespect for judges. It also fosters a hatred of our laws.
Judge Lefkow said that "can only encourage those who are on the edge or on the fringe to exact revenge on a judge who displeases them."
I join with Judge Lefkow as she calls on politicians to "publicly and persistently repudiate gratuitous attacks on the judiciary."
Pat Robertson said this about judges. "They're destroying the fabric that holds our nation together." He continued: "Over 100 years, I think the gradual erosion of the consensus that's held our country together is probably more serious than a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings."
Tom DeLay of Republican of Texas, retiring House majority leader, threatened retribution against the judges who refused to intercede in the Terry Schiavo case in Florida.
Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas, said recently that courthouse violence might be explained by anger at judges "making political decisions yet are unaccountable to the public."
