DeLay Said "Judges Need to Be Intimidated"

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has denied that the recent threats he made against judges were not an attempt to intimidate them, claiming "I believe in an independent judiciary. I repeat, of course I believe in an independent judiciary." However, Tom DeLay told the Washington Post on 9/14/97:

"Judges need to be intimidated."
