This guy is getting loopier by the minute<\/a>.<\/p>\n

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay intensified his criticism of the federal courts on Tuesday, singling out Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s work from the bench as “incredibly outrageous” because he has relied on international law and done research on the Internet. <\/p>\n

DeLay also said he thought there were a “lot of Republican-appointed judges that are judicial activists.” <\/p>\n

The No. 2 Republican in the House has openly criticized the federal courts since they refused to order the reinsertion of Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube. And he pointed to Kennedy as an example of Republican members of the Supreme Court who were activist and isolated. <\/p>\n

“Absolutely. We’ve got Justice Kennedy writing decisions based upon international law, not the Constitution of the United States? That’s just outrageous,” DeLay told Fox News Radio. “And not only that, but he said in session that he does his own research on the Internet? That is just incredibly outrageous.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah. He should have just consulted the Bible. No, wait, that, too, would have been his \u201cown research.\u201d I meant Kennedy should have let DeLay do the Bible research. That way Kennedy wouldn\u2019t have to cloud his thinking with nuance. A short pithy interpretation is all that\u2019s needed. Those damn court opinions have gotten too long. Thirty seconds is all one should need to read them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
