Tom DeLay is an Idiot

Can you believe people like this run our country?

"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 on Tuesday. "And not only that, but he said in session that he does his own research on the Internet? That is just incredibly outrageous."

What the heck is DeLay trying to say? Judges shouldn't do their own research? The internet is evil? Somehow what other countries do isn't relevant to the way our country runs?

It gets better: "The judiciary has become so activist and so isolated from the American people that it's our job to do that" [hold the judiciary responsible for their actions]

So, what you're saying is that Congress isn't isolated from the American people? What's even better is that DeLay wants to start impeaching justices & federal judges based on the "good behavior" clause.

Let's review Tom DeLay's "good behavior":

• Travel with a lobbyist whose clients may have paid for the Texas Republican's foreign travel on several occasions.
• The House ethics committee admonished DeLay last year on three separate issues but did not find that he violated House rules.
• A district attorney in Texas is investigating potentially illegal corporate contributions to a Texas political committee started by DeLay.
• On August 30, 2001, Tom DeLay, his wife, his staff and two Florida Republican House members arrived in Malaysia on what was billed as an educational trip. Problem is, no one can remember who paid for the trip, was it The Heritage Foundation? Or was it a for profit Hong Kong corporation?

Perhaps Tom DeLay should remember the cliche: Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Somehow I don't think that doing your own research and using international law rises to the level of impeachable behavior exhibited by DeLay on a daily basis. Maybe someone (besides the impotent House Ethics Committee) should check into whether DeLay is on "good behavior."
