Texas Republican Party Platform Thread 7

The Republican Party of Texas Platform has been MUCH in the news of late because it is a CONSERVATIVE document and, as such, VERY controversial. I thought it would be an instructive exercise, for those of us who wish to do so here, to go through it plank by plank and see where we stand on these issues. Pursuant to that, I will post ONE plank of the Platform, every few days and anyone who wishes to can state their views as to that particular part of the platform.

Today, under the sub-heading Preserving American Freedom we find the following plank:

Federal Judiciary Reform - The Party calls on the House of Representatives and the Senate to exercise their authority to impeach and remove federal judges who abuse their constitutional authority.

[Bigun]

I have decided to score myself by assigning a score of between 0 and 10 points to each of the planks! 10 means I agree with EVERYTHING in it. 0 means I agree with NOTHING in it!.

EXACTLY! Part of their duties under the Constitution!

This one 10 and my score to this point is 63 out of a possible 70.

I concur fully with this plank, even though we recognize that it's not politically possible today.

I don't think this plank is particularly controversial, so I'm going to go ahead and score it a 10 for me now, which brings my running total up to 53, if my arithmetic is correct.

Never going to happen but I wish it would.

May as well. We won't be playing baseball since we all got FIRED!

[BUSHdude2000]

I don't even think the Congress knows they have this power. Even if someone teaches them, they'll never follow this plank.

I shall play this game..

Take all the time you need but have it ready by morning! ;>)

Glad to have ya aboard!

[Bigun]

I don't even think the Congress knows they have this power.

Shamefully, in the case of most members, you are probably right!

Flyer: I know you are disappointed, but that's the way the baseball bounces.... I got fired from the baseball team too.

Bigun: I need an extension. Busy man.... Busy Busy Busy... Looking for liberal dirt to throw.
