Pelosi Statement on DeLay’s Threats Against the Federal Judiciary
Washington, D.C. -- House
“Mr. DeLay’s escalating threats aimed at intimidating the federal judiciary fundamentally disrespect our Constitutional framework and dishonor the oath we take as public officials to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Mr. DeLay's remarks are unworthy of a leader.
“Our Founders carefully constructed our system of checks and balances to include an independent federal judiciary as a co-equal branch of government to protect our freedoms. As Republicans increasingly use any means to justify their partisan ends, that system has never been more critical.
“In the face of Mr. DeLay's and other Republican threats, we will work to ensure the independence of the federal judiciary and protect its ability to safeguard our freedoms. We must continue to be a government of laws.”
“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ”
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
