Does anybody remember when DeLay and other Republicans...

...wanted to impeach a bunch of Federal judges for not being extreme enough back when they were pandering to all the fundies? They were threatening "mass impeachments" of Federal judges. I was thinking. They better not talk too much about impeaching things or else they'll end up getting people interested in impeaching other things if you know what I mean. :)

BTW, didn't one of Tom Coburn's staff members say, "I don't want to impeach judges. I want to impale them," or something like that?

1. Michael Schwartz...

"Michael Schwartz must have thought I was just another attendee of the "Confronting the Judicial War on Faith" conference. I approached the chief of staff of Oklahoma's GOP Senator Tom Coburn outside the conference in downtown Washington last Thursday afternoon after he spoke there. Before I could introduce myself, he turned to me and another observer with a crooked smile and exclaimed, "I'm a radical! I'm a real extremist. I don't want to impeach judges. I want to impale them!"
