"And not only that, but [Justice Kennedy] said in session that he does his own research on the Internet? That is just incredibly outrageous." Is Tom DeLay really this stupid? I guess he is.

I'm not even sure what it is that's supposed to be happening.

Huh? The religionists won. Black wrote for the majority. The New Jersey statute was challenged as violative of the establishment clause, but the Court held that it was not. The dissent criticizes the majority for allowing the statute to remain in effect. Have you read this case? You might want...

Are you suggesting that Black's opinion was based entirely on Jefferson's phrase? And are you aware that the religionists prevailed in Everson? Why did they write the establishment clause into the First Amendment then? And if you are going to tell me that the First Amendment only prevents the...

lol - are you serious?

Like what?

Six pages and no defense of Frist. Probably because this is indefensible. But I hope he goes ahead with his little speech, despite his surely being advised against it at this point. This has to be the crassest stunt the GOP leadership has pulled in decades.

Yes, despite Ted Nugent.

All I can hope is that reasonable people, including and especially people of faith, see these panderers for what they are - arrogant, cynical hypocrites - and turf them out at the earliest possible opportunity. This is exactly why there is a "no religious test" clause in the Constitution.

Repeat a lie enough times ...

Senator Bill Frist, the majority leader, has agreed to join a handful of prominent Christian conservatives in a telecast portraying Democrats as "against people of faith" for blocking President Bush's nominees. . . . Some of the nation's most influential evangelical Protestants are...

Funny, DeLay's defenders said everything was perfectly appropriate and warranted. Why apologize?

Probably because DeLay's troubles began in his home state. Is anyone clamoring for an investigation in Nevada? It may be hypocritical to go after one politician and turn a blind eye toward another that's doing exactly the same thing (especially if it's yourself), but this thread claims Harry...

What does Reid have to do with DeLay that would make Reid a hypocrite, is the question.

What hypocrisy? Sounds like he's doing a good job for his state.

Like I said, it's ironic because the Florida Dem didn't get away with it.

Because condoms and hypodermic needles are so expensive and treating the illnesses that proliferate without them is so cheap.

Very funny. As was mentioned earlier, the question "how do you feel about the courts" is not very interesting without reference to the law, or cases, or whatever it is you mean by "bounds." Aside from that, there were several cases during the 2000 elections. Which one(s) are you talking...

Depends what you mean by "bounds."

So the compromise is, now that you've voiced your opposition to some of Bush's most off-the-wall nominees, let every single one of them be confirmed?
