A lot of things Republicans say make me angry. Some even very angry. But the absolutely wretched statement made by Senator Cornyn today was something different. It was scary. My mother is a federal judge in the ninth district of California--the same level as the recent victims of violence. She has made some tough decisions in her career, as have all judges, some which I am sure Mr. Cornyn would call "activist," (She has been slandered by one Rush Limbaugh). For him to then suggest he would understand the sentiments behind a hypothetical attack on her almost brought me to tears. Please please PLEASE blog this for all it is worth and maybe this man will be held accountable for his hateful and hurtful words.
