Frist says he wants to "eliminate the judicial branch"

www.slooflirap.com

Just now, in a special after hours Senate meeting, Majority leader Bill Frist was heard saying, "What we really need to do is eliminate the judicial branch of government. This country needs to be ruled by Biblical law.". Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum agreed, saying that the Constitution had "outlived it's usefulness."

Can you believe these people? This is scary stuff!

incredibly stupid and inane comments. Frist can kiss his career goodbye. The only people who will vote for him now will be the wacko religious right, hardly a majority. Or is this an April Fool's joke?

4. Is this for real? I can't get your link to work...

5. This is APPALLING -- however, I'm glad that the wraps are
coming off. I think that statistcally there are in for the shock of their fundie lives -- I would expect 10 percent of the people might back such an idea -- but, that is all.

Try getting re=elected with THAT, Rick Santorium -- you may come from a fairly traditional and religious state; however, I think ties to the Constitution are far deeper.
