Yahoo! News - 2 Evangelicals Want to Strip Courts' Funds

Yahoo! News - 2 Evangelicals Want to Strip Courts' Funds: "Perkins said that he had attended a meeting with congressional leaders a week earlier where the strategy of stripping funding from certain courts was 'prominently' discussed. 'What they're thinking of is not only the fact of just making these courts go away and re-creating them the next day but also defunding them,' Perkins said.
He said that instead of undertaking the long process of trying to impeach judges, Congress could use its appropriations authority to 'just take away the bench, all of his staff, and he's just sitting out there with nothing to do.'
These curbs on courts are 'on the radar screen, especially of conservatives here in Congress,' he said."
