Texas Rep. Lamar Smith is on CSPAN right now, talking about judicial activism and how we need to get rid of judges who consistently rule based on their own ideals instead of the law. He just made the statement that we need to educate the public about judges' bad decisions.

Has anyone contacted him regarding Mae's case yet? This might be a good thing for someone in his area of Texas to do.

Right now they're talking about Terri Schiavo--turn on your TV!

Poll: 78% don't want more security for judges

Federal Judges Urge Congress, White House to Give Them More Protection
The Associated Press

Concerned about recent attacks, federal judges urged Congress Wednesday to provide them with more protection, including increased services by U.S. marshals and $12 million for home security systems. The request by the Judicial Conference of the United States follows the February murder of a federal judge's family in Chicago, the March courtroom shooting deaths in Atlanta and some critics' emotional comments after judges refused to order the reinsertion of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube.

In a recent poll with nearly 20,000 participants, Americans said they don't want to pay for increased security for judges.

MSNBC.

Could it be that many Americans believe judges could care less about citizens safety?
