"The greatest need to be defended"

Justice O'Connor on judicial independence:

"I'm increasingly concerned about the current climate of challenge to judicial independence," O'Connor told a gathering of state judges from around the country Friday.
...
The judiciary is the weakest of the three branches of government, she said, and therefore the one with "the greatest need to be defended."

Don't you hate that when folks get so hellbent in acting under cover of "saving the world" that they neglect their own responsibilities at home?
Don't like to see it in the neighborhood; don't like to see it in my government.
How 'bout you?
