Reply #36: Law-and-order judges, and the rule of law: Cornyn quotes [View All]

[ljm2002]

Cornyn in support of "law-and-order judges":

"Senate gridlock affects the simple operation of government, like approving law-and-order judges."

Cornyn told supporters he would focus his Washington work on helping all people, "regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, gender, or sex," he said. "I want to represent all Texans. And yes, to confirm President Bush's law-and-order judges."

One wonders whether those law-and-order judges he seems to like so much, would be happy with his endorsement of criminals who murder judges when they don't agree with their decisions?

Cornyn on the rule of law, in Iraq and the USA:

"Mr. President, in order for Iraq to grow and blossom from the rubble, it requires security. It requires order. It requires the rule of law."

"Washington recognized that for America to truly be a nation where the people were sovereign, it must first be a nation of laws."

Hard to reconcile these statements with the ones he made today. But maybe Cornyn thinks it's legal to kill judges when you don't agree with them? I wonder if he feels the same way about Senators, though? :shrug:
