Conservative criticism of the judiciary has been called a threat to judicial independence and un-American by American liberals, who see the judicial branch as the only way of enacting their preferred policies over the objection of the American people.

What do these liberals have to say about this comment from an Ohio abortionist?

[Akron Women's Medical Group executive director Carol] Westfall didn't mince words about the decision issued late Thursday by U.S. District Judge Sandra Beckwith in Cincinnati. That decision upheld a 1998 state law that requires teenage girls to obtain parental consent before getting an abortion.

It also requires adults seeking abortions to meet in person with a doctor at least 24 hours beforehand to get a description of the procedure and information about alternatives. Under the former law, that information could be given over the phone or by videotape.

It was the 24-hour requirement that was causing problems at the local clinic.
``This ruling came out at quarter to five on a Thursday night. It was impossible to get a hold of these patients,'' Westfall said. ``My opinion is, the judge should be lynched.''

Excuse me? Lynched? For making a ruling you find inconvenient to your business interests? DoesnÂ’t your threat against the life of a federal judge compromise judicial independence?

I look forward to Ms. WestfallÂ’s indictment and arrest.
