Seriously? You feel that his thinly veiled threats of violence to federal judges makes him a credit to your state? You think it's representative of the popular opinion in Texas to suggest that "None of your civil liberties matter much after you're dead"? Pretty low standards, eh?

Yes, seriously.
Are you bringing up something from 2005 to kick dirt over the rightness of Senator Cornyn's current actions? Whatever could be the point of this, besides counter-productive partisanship? Can a right action be taken only by people with pasts you deem fully worthy?

I don't believe anybody is disputing that what Cornyn is doing now is good. Nobody is saying, "These questions are bad because Cornyn did bad things before." They're disputing that he is, as a whole, somebody you'd want to give your unreserved support for just because he did this one good thing.
