Tom DeLay has contempt for the Internets

DeLay will not stop his attacks on Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. Yesterday, he called Kennedy's work from the bench "incredibly outrageous" because Kennedy is "writing decisions based on international law..." and "he does his own research on the Internet."

Through FTP, there are already an astounding number of documents available via the Internet, and there will be more in the near future. Entire libraries. One would think that a Supreme Court justice doing some of his own research would be considered admirable, or at least charming, by a lot of people, but DeLay can twist anything into a crime against "values."

One wonders why DeLay hasn't launched an attack on Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, another Reagan appointee who has often sided with the more liberal justices. Maybe he doesn't want to draw a target on the back of a woman. Maybe he just hasn't gotten to her yet.
