From the Houston Chronicle:

WASHINGTON - In an eyebrow-raising speech on the Senate floor Monday, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn suggested a connection between "political decisions" by some judges and incidents of courthouse violence across the nation.

The remarks by Republican Cornyn, a former justice on the Texas Supreme Court, prompted immediate criticism from Democrats.

Cornyn, citing recent cases of violence against judges, said he wondered "whether there may be some connection between the perception in some quarters on some occasions where judges are making political decisions yet are unaccountable to the public, that it builds up and builds up and builds up to the point where some people ... engage in violence."

Actually, the seeming call to mob rule is what ...interested... me about this one. Judge ruled against you? While I of course can't condone it if you off the unaccountable renegade, I can understand it. And this from a guy who had been a judge.

You gotta wonder what's going through his tiny mind, here.

Or -- maybe not.
