What Ever Happened to Separation of Powers ?

Congress comes after a federal judge [National Law Journal]

A chilling tale of what happens when the political legislative branch attempts to undermine the independence of the judiciary.  Naturally, this type of oversight is only reserved for a judge seen as "too light" on drug offenders, as compared to those who are too hard on plaintiffs or too kind to law enforcement.  Maybe this proves that Congress should require a CCE (Continuing Citizen Education)  course on the Constitution at least once a year.  Heck, we could all benefit from that course, couldn't we?!
