“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

We want half our stuff back, too

Is this punishment for Bill Frist coming out in favor of the Stem Cell Bill? Justice Sunday II, the sequal (which is never as good as the first) is scheduled to take place in Frist's own back yard. But he's not invited:
Family Research Council president Tony Perkins said Tuesday on the group's Web site that Frist's recently announced stem cell stance "reflects an unwise and unnecessary choice both for public policy and for respecting the dignity of human life." Perkins also has been annoyed with Frist for allowing a compromise on President Bush's judicial nominations.

One face that will be there? Tom Delay.
DeLay's planned appearance adds the imprimatur of a top Republican elected official to the event, which seeks to call attention to what its organizers say is the Supreme Court's hostility to Christianity and traditional families in its decisions about abortion, homosexuality and government support of religion. It will be broadcast to churches and Christian television stations, and distributed as a video.

Perkins, the program's principal organizer, called DeLay "a natural fit" with the program. "He has been very outspoken on the need for addressing the issue of judicial activism," Perkins said.

I guess you could call threatening the well being of judges outspoken.
