Wingnuttery in a can: DeLay on the Constitution
Transcript of interview with Tom DeLay - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics - April 14, 2005:
Q:"You've been talking about going after activist judges since at least 1997. The [Terri] Schiavo case gives you a chance to do that, but you've recently said you blame Congress for not being zealous in oversight.
Mr. DeLay: Not zealous. I blame Congress over the last 50 to 100 years for not standing up and taking its responsibility given to it by the Constitution. The reason the judiciary has been able to impose a separation of church and state that's nowhere in the Constitution is that Congress didn't stop them. The reason we had judicial review is because Congress didn't stop them. The reason we had a right to privacy is because Congress didn't stop them. "
Repeat after me, Tom:
"I pledge allegiance, to planet Remulak...."

When will Congress get rid of DeLay? The Constitution allows that.
