Apparently the NEW republican thing, attempting to attack, eliminate or destroy Judges that don't agree with them, up to and including maybe splitting up the 9th Circuit, reducing the number of Supreme Court judges, and preventing federal judges from deciding on cases such as Defense of Marriage Act and partial birth abortions.

Leading the charge is DeLay (of course) and his 200+ conservative groups building up the funds etc to attack and "remind" congressmen that to not pick the judge they want could hurt their political career. To be fair, it doesn't seem like mainstream repubs nor Bush is involved in this...but I don't see them stopping them either, which they could. Its almost like they letting others test the water, and if it gets traction dive in with them, rather then making a decision on whats best now.
And for the repubs out there who will ra-ra this, think how would you like if Democrats attempted to toss conservative judges and prevent federal courts from making decisions on ideas they hold dear.
My point, once again some lawmakers are attempting something that all Americans should find repulsive, regardless of what party they support.
