Worried after recent attacks, federal judges urged Congress yesterday to provide more protection, including $12 million for security systems in most of their homes.
"Unfortunately, at the present time federal judges across the country are feeling particularly vulnerable, not only for themselves, but also for their families," said a letter from the Judicial Conference of the United States, the court's policymaking board, led by Chief Justice William H.

Okay, I have to say this was request from a non partisan board and has much to do with what happened in Atlanta and Boston as it does with what Republicans are doing.
I'm not mad about Republicans ccosting us 12 million, I'm used to that. What I am mad is that it is obvious that remarks like what Delay and company have been saying have a direct efect on those that they serve.
I really want to see how Tom Delay pays for this...in fact I think that he should pay about 500 000 of it himself after all he could just ask his wife and daughter for the money.
I'm so steamed that I haven't even heard a half assed apology...he thinks he's right and that means he's insane or irresponsable and doesn't deserve to represent the bugs he used to kill.
