Tall tales and short ruminations from a law student

Wednesday, April 20, 2005
Tom DeLay is a psychotic, sinking ship. Playing dirty politics with Congressman may be de rigueur for him, but what is he trying to accomplish by singling out Justice Kennedy, who by all accounts is still a conservative! DeLay faulted Kennedy for using international law in his arguments: "We've got Justice Kennedy writing decisions based upon international law, not the Constitution of the United States? That's just outrageous." As OUTRAGEOUS as that is, and at least it is controversial, DeLay goes on to berate Kennedy because "he said in session that he does his own research on the Internet? That is just incredibly outrageous." Pack up your Westlaw passes, boys and girls. Republican leadership says we are going back to the time when a law firm's library was its crown.

As the elusive LawBot said, "that's kind of funny, as though Kennedy is googling 'should juveniles be put to death' and basing his opinions on what comes up."

I'm so disheartened I can't even close this wittily.
