Frist backtracks on "activist judges" after GOP Senator Cornyn says he understands why people kill judges

Apparently all that talk of taking out revenge on judges and defending their murderers has started to give Senator Frist pause. After all, he doesn't want to run for president in 2008, and a pro-terrorism message probably won't win over those swing voters.

So, I ask again, have the liberal groups running the battles against the Supreme Court nominations, the filibuster repeal, and the entire activist judge thing said anything about this latest Cornyn catastrophe? Have they activated their email lists, posted this on their Web sites? I just want to know, maybe they have, and if they, please send it to me.

But any that haven't, I wouldn't give them another dime ever again. They've been handed their golden opportunity to fight back on this issue - we predicted it last night, and already we have Senator Frist squirming and talking about how the judiciary is doing really well - if our well-funded groups don't grab on to this Cornyn eruption now, don't ever give them a dime again until we can build up new organizations that get it.

Let's face it, the Center for American Progress was on this issue LAST NIGHT and got it posted to their Web site. Any liberal group who didn't keep their staffers late to get this on their Web site and/or out to the masses should be defunded.

Again, perhaps they're embracing this issue and running with it. And if so, please send me the links to their Web sites and I'll post 'em. But it's time to hold these groups accountable, or push them out of the way.
