Congress without a clue

Does the phrase “separation of powers” ring a bell with anyone?

In an interview, Jeff Lungren, a spokesman for Representative F. James Sensenbrenner Jr., Republican of Wisconsin and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said the panel was likely in some way to take up the issue of how the federal judges handled Ms. Schiavo’s case.

But Mr. Lungren said Mr. DeLay had not requested a hearing and the committee had not decided on a course of action. “There does seem to be this misunderstanding out there that our system was created with a completely independent judiciary,” he said.
