Asked if he would include any Supreme Court justices among those he considers activist and isolated, DeLay singled out Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, who was named to the court by President Ronald Reagan. “Absolutely,” DeLay replied. “We’ve got Justice Kennedy writing decisions based upon international law, not the Constitution of the United States. That’s just outrageous. And not only that, but he said in session that he does his own research on the Internet? That is just incredibly outrageous.”

Is there anything left to say?
Of course there is…say it below.
His own research? On the internets?
I can’t tell you how hard that made me laugh.
That quote is gold for Morrison.
Can you imagine a more Stalinist attitude toward the Internets? Why, the Chinese communist censors would blush to be so outrageous.
I can’t imagine what he is even fucking talking about? Can you?
No…but I’ve been saying that for quite awhile. It boggles the mind to see people still cover for his CRAZY ass.
Not a clue. I’d start looking in Leviticus, though….
I laugh a lot at the things these people say, but there are times like right now that I get a flash of sadness. How can someone vote for these people. One of the comments said about W. during the last election that sticks in my mind is that he could be your next door neighbor and you could chat with him at your barbeque. I know my next door neighbors, (and they’re a few dozen IQ points up on him) but there isn’t one I would want running the country – it’s not about having a nice chat.
threatened by people who are smarter or more knowledgeable or more experienced or more able than you are.
What’s the matter with you??!!
I don’t know which is more painful:
Delay, the idiot as part of government
Or
Those oblivious to Delay’s antics, voting over and over for people with no respect for the job they were elected to do.
One vote for #2, the egg. No eggs, no chickenhawk.
I’m a bit curious. What has your general observation been of regular folks on the street there in regards to Delay?
Actually, I’ve been working in Albuquerque for the past three months, as he has risen from the swamp to scare the natives.
Here, many Republicans were shocked almost speechless by the vile spectacle of the Schiavo panderfest. They still shake their heads in disgust if I bring it up in conversation. It will have a lasting effect on the ability of the Propaganda Factory to snow many of the sheep, I suspect.
Your observations?
Damn am I glad to hear that! Now if some of those republicans can keep holding that thought until the next elections there might be hope of getting rid of some of these fanatics.
Oh, and Delay is an asshat who can see the vultures circling around what’s left of his political career.
Keep it up Tom, and they’ll have no choice but to cut you loose. Dissing Reagan appointees, hmmm, can’t imagine that’s going to be a popular move with certain people.
Add to this latest “unartful bloviation” the fact that Rove steps forward to endorse DeLay in the name of Dub… why are they unable to cut him loose????
Is it denial…? Or does Bug Bomb Tom have some real dirt on Dub that he’s blackmailing with…? Or could it be that we have our hands on the actual feeding tube of the “vast right wing conspiracy”, at least in Texas…? Simply fascinating!
“research on the Internet… outrageous.” Why? Why in Delay’s tiny mind is this outrageous? I simply can’t comprehend his point of view. Can someone give me some insight into how and why Delay thinks this activity is in anyway strange? I mean, millions of high school students are hitting the internet every day to research their essays and term papers. Even if they don’t have a computer at home, I see them lined up at the local library waiting their turn to do research on the internet. How can this perfectly ordinary activity be regarded as “outrageous”?
I just don’t get it. Is the implication somehow that the internet is inherently evil? Like those dinosaur bones Satan planted to deceive scientists into believing in evolution? Is that what he’s suggesting?
strange:
because he is an ignorant f%^k drunk with power and delusions of grandeur. He likes his judges to do their research in the right-wing version of the Bible.
Eh, what a maroon.
The bug man needs to read (and try to comprehend) Article VI of the United States Constitution.
Scary, scary. I posted on this, too.
This is a very ignorant and dangerous man imho. He is trying to stir up the radical right and we need to watch that. He has alot of ties to money and he may use that to start a “holy war” against these “activist” judges. He is batshit crazy folks. Watch closely now!!!
Kennedy was chosen because he was one of the foremost constitutional scholars in the nation. From his bio:
Law Teaching
Professor of constitutional law, McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific, 1965-1988.
Welcome to the wayback machine. If the f*cking shoe fits:
McCarthyism took its toll on many individuals and on the nation. No one was safe from charges recklessly made from inside the walls of congressional immunity. [edit]
Not all these accusations were made by Senator McCarthy himself; but he and his cult were never known for any sense of discrimination in their choice of targets or in determining who held the gun.
[Dwight D. Eisenhower, in Mandate for Change].
Give ’em enought rope…..
Well it’s simple really, when Delay said the Internet that Kennedy does his research on as being outrageous he was of course referring to the fact that Kennedy was using one of the unsanctioned ‘internets’you see. You will recall that their fearless leader bush, in the debates referenced the ‘internets’ and the ‘Internet’ Kennedy is using is under Homeland Security watch for devious misinformation and a menace to all decent citizens using the real ‘internets’.
See there how ya all are maligning poor old Tommy Bugs (his mafia name)with your wild accusations and cynicism. It’s outrageous really how you’re just making fun of poor Tommy Bugs for standing up for the real justices and the American Way. A true Red/White and Bug American he is. Now aren’t you all ashamed of yourselves?
Oh ok, I’m just joshing you guys, he really is deep fried twinkies for brains fucken crazy.
And if this makes no sense I apologize as today is seems to be turning into a major pain pill day which kinda gets me a bit screwed up.
