Theocrats and nucleo-cons finally spill the beans.

That's it. Game over. The New York Times covers the "Confronting the Judicial War on Faith" conference. The list is in the open:

Mr. DeLay alluded to Congressional authority to "set the parameters" of courts' jurisdictions and its obligation "to make sure the judges administer their responsibilities."

The organizers of the conference and Congressional staff members who spoke there called for several specific steps: impeaching judges deemed to have ignored the will of Congress or to have followed foreign laws; passing bills to remove court jurisdiction from certain social issues or the place of God in public life; changing Senate rules that allow the Democratic minority to filibuster Mr. Bush's appeals court nominees; and using Congress's authority over court budgets to punish judges whom it considers to have overstepped their authority.

"I am in favor of impeachment," Michael Schwartz, chief of staff to Senator Tom Coburn, Republican of Oklahoma, said in a panel discussion on abortion, suggesting "mass impeachment" might be needed.

The extraordinary rendition of the filibuster is only part of the package, but it's the key part. Without it, the Senate functions as a slightly more exclusive House -- the "cooling saucer" is cast to the ground and shattered.

"A republic, if you can keep it."
