Sometimes even the right wing…

…is, well, right. Cue former Bushco Solicitor General Ted Olson, writing for the Wall Street Journal...
Calls to investigate judges who have made unpopular decisions are particularly misguided, and if actually pursued, would undermine the independence that is vital to the integrity of judicial systems. If a judge’s decisions are corrupt or tainted, there are lawful recourses (prosecution or impeachment); but congressional interrogations of life-tenured judges, presumably under oath, as to why a particular decision was rendered, would constitute interference with — and intimidation of — the judicial process. And there is no logical stopping point once this power is exercised.
Ted Olson. Wall Street Journal.

Hey Bugman, starting to feel a bit out of step even in wingnut circles?

Hat Tip to The Carpetbagger Report.
