Look out your windows for the four horsemen

The apocolypse is surely nigh. There can be no other explanation for Charles "somewhere to the right of Rush Limbaugh" Krauthammer coming out of the closet and blasting DeLay, Cornyn and Schlafly for their inappropriate attacks on the judiciary.

DeLay is wrong about the Schiavo case. I think the law was a bad law, but the trial judge applied it properly. I think the judge assessed the medical evidence incorrectly, but that is a matter of interpretation, not of judicial impropriety or denial of due process. There is nothing here with which to threaten this judge or the judicial system.

But at least DeLay was coherent. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) wandered somewhere off the Pacific Coast Highway when, on the Senate floor, he suggested a connection between "some recent episodes of courthouse violence" and judicial activism -- as if courtroom gunmen are disappointed scholars who kill in the name of Borkian originalism. Even worse was a Washington meeting of over-the-top activists led by Phyllis Schlafly that issued a manifesto for the restoration of God to our constitutional system.

Let us have a bit of sanity here.

Krauthammer calling for "sanity" from the Hypnochrists™? What's next? Will Al Franken be taking to the airwaves on Monday supporting Social Security Piratization?
