DeLay - deny, deflect, deceive

Once again, DeLay uses the usual repug tactics....Anything to try to take the heat off of himself. What a vile piece of work....

DeLay Criticizes Supreme Court Justice

WASHINGTON (April 20) - House Majority Leader Tom DeLay says Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's work from the bench has been "incredibly outrageous," his latest salvo at the federal judiciary in the weeks following the courts' refusal to stop Terri Schiavo's death.

DeLay also labeled a lot of the courts' Republican appointees as "judicial activists," a term applied by conservatives to judges they dislike for not following what they call strict interpretations of the Constitution.

"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."
---
Although Kennedy was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Reagan, a conservative icon, he has aroused conservatives' ire by sometimes agreeing with the court's more liberal members. Nevertheless, it is unusual for a congressional leader to single out a Supreme Court justice for criticism.
---
However, DeLay has called repeatedly for the House to find a way to hold the federal judiciary accountable for its decisions. "The judiciary has become so activist and so isolated from the American people that it's our job to do that," he said.

One way would be for the House Judiciary Committee to investigate the clause in the Constitution that says "judges can serve as long as they serve with good behavior," he said. "We want to define what good behavior means. And that's where you have to start."

I honestly wonder if ANYONE believes anything that he is saying. The entire world knows that the majority of the American public agreed that the judges did the right thing by letting Terri Schiavo's wishes be upheld and that Congress and the politicians who butted into this personal, family matter were in the wrong. Yet, DeLay continues to try to use this issue as an example of the judiciary being "isolated from the American people"!
I'm not a lawyer or anything, but i fail to see the problem with a judge "doing his own research". Just because DeLay is lazy, why should judges not do their own work?
And this man wants to "define what good behavior means"?!?!?!? Talk about outrageous!!!!!!
Incredible! He continues to deny any wrongdoing himself (which continues to pile up daily), he tries to deflect his problems by concentrating on this issue and he attempts to deceive by misrepresentating the facts!
