Cheney Opposes Retribution Against Schiavo Judges

Uh oh, the real "brains" (other than maybe Karl Rove) in the Administration say that we shouldn't be concerned about getting revenge and retribution against the Judges involved in the Schiavo decision.

Cheney Opposes Retribution Against Schiavo Judges

By Mike Allen and Brian Faler
Monday, April 4, 2005; Page A04


Vice President Cheney says he opposes revenge against judges for their refusal to prolong the life of the late Terri Schiavo, although he did not criticize House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) for declaring that they will "answer for their behavior."
Cheney was asked about the issue on Friday by the editorial board of the New York Post. He said twice that he had not seen DeLay's remarks, but the vice president said he would "have problems" with the idea of retribution against the courts. "I don't think that's appropriate," he said. "I may disagree with decisions made by judges in any one particular case. But I don't think there would be much support for the proposition that because a judge hands down a decision we don't like, that somehow we ought to go out -- there's a reason why judges get lifetime appointments."

Guess that means that the Judges can feel safe. After all, the decision maker has already decided, right?

That's interesting, I took DeLay's remarks not as a threat of retribution, but as a Bible-pounding belief that the afterlife would hold some nasty surprises.

I guess you didn't read the rest of the article that was linked, which included the 'no way, no how' phrases in responses to direct questions about the possibility of running for President.
