TPM Reader BD sends along word that Sen. John Cornyn has posted the full text of the speech he gave on the floor yesterday on his senate website. Presumably this is in an effort to blunt the controversy over his remarks by putting them in the context of the entire speech. To me, the offending passage — suggesting a connection between judicial activism and violence against judges — speaks for itself, notwithstanding the fact that other passages say (what else do you expect?) that such violence cannot be justified.
But, no need to take my word for it. Read the context and decide for yourself.
(ed.note: For reference and searching sake, the passage that has caused the controversy begins ‘Finally, I don’t know’.)
