Judges Not To Blame

I took this out of the Tulsa World Editorial Page.

"I share U.S. Senator Tom Coburn's dismay over the divisions in our country. I have become quite emotional in conversations about how far we have drifted apart as a people and how we need to return to civility in politics and government. However, the Senator cites activist judges as the reason for our situation.
What is an actiavist Judge? Evidently it is a judge that rules against your position.
Instead, I would cite politicians like Coburn. They seek to tell us when life begins and call us murderers if we disagree. They wail about the misfortunes of Terri Schiavo's family while arguing to cut Medicaid. They give tax breaks to the wealthies Americans then tell us the school systems waste too much money.
They push for prayer in schools and Scriptures on the courthouse door in the face of a Constitution that was carefully crafted to maintain separation of church and state. They campaign with Swift Boat lies and label every opponent as liberal.
You can't practice the politics of self-righteous outrage and push our democracy further toward theocracy without scaring the dickens out of many of us." Harry Willis, Tulsa, OK
