Bush Ally Cornyn: Terrorism & Violence Against Judges Justified, Perhaps?

Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas), seen here with his good friend and close political ally President George W. Bush, generated controversy recently by musing, on the floor of the United States Senate, that there might be some political justification for terroristic violence against American judges.

"I don't know if there is a cause-and-effect connection but we have seen some recent episodes of courthouse violence in this country. Certainly nothing new, but we seem to have run through a spate of courthouse violence recently that's been on the news and I wonder whether there may be some connection between the perception in some quarters on some occasions where judges are making political decisions yet are unaccountable to the public, that it builds up and builds up and builds up to the point where some people engage in - engage in violence."

No word so far as to whether President Bush, Cornyn's good friend and close political ally, agrees with Cornyn's suggestion that the victims of this brand of domestic terrorism tend to bring it on themselves.
