Gore' in the annals of history, I am certain that the good work and good faith of the U.S. federal judiciary as a whole will continue to sustain public confidence at a level never beyond repair," the justice said. Ginsburg's topic was judicial independence, and she had some sharp words about House Republican Whip Tom DeLay's 1997 proposal to impeach federal judges whose rulings he believed did not follow the law. DeLay "is not a lawyer but, I'm told, an exterminator by profession," she said. DeLay once ran an exterminating business in Texas. >> The lady may have her opinion of Tom Delay and even an opinion of public opinion, but Mr. Delay also has a right to his opinion. As for public confidence in the judiciary, I haven't heard any people express an positive view of the Supreme Court for quite a long time. Things went to hell in a handbasket back when Judge Rehnquist first announced that "innocence was no bar to carrying out a conviction." If he added, "Particularly when the individual involved is black," but he well might have.
