Some are questioning whether DeLay has lost his political touch. DeLay helped pull Congress into the battle over Terri Schiavo, and then criticized "a judiciary run amok" and vowed that judges will "answer for their behavior."From his comments one might conclude that the judges were liberal activists taking law into their own hands. In reality, however, some of them were conservatives like Florida Appellate Judge Stanley F. Birch Jr., appointed to the bench by President George H.W. Bush, who were simply upholding the law as it is now. And polls showed that 80 percent of respondents opposed the attempt by Congress to intervene in the case.The most imperative reason the Republicans in Congress should renounce DeLay's leadership is not that he is guilty of political miscues, however. It's that his lack of respect for principles and ethics is showing. The Republicans can do much better.
