What's in the water on Capitol Hill?

First we heard House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, say there would be political repercussions for judges who make decisions he didn't like. Now U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, says a recent spate of courthouse shootings might be related to people's anger with "unaccountable" judges who "make raw political or ideological decisions."

Not that he endorses such violence. No rational person could.
