Independent Judiciary

A quote from the Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice:

"The centralization of state power in the presidency at the expense of countervailing institutions [...] or an independent judiciary is clearly very worrying."

I wonder if Tom DeLay and Bill Frist have considered this perspective in their recent rants about judges opposing their views?

In fairness, the quote is about how Putin is consolidating Russian power and the omitted text is:

"like the Duma (parliament lower house)"
