"JUDICIAL ACTIVISM: The devil's workshop" -- St. Louis Post Disgrace Editorial

The Bejing Dispatch lambasted Tom DeLay for his comments about the courts, and about his comment specifically about Justice Kennedy, here STLtoday - News - Editorial / Commentary

"'We've got Justice Kennedy writing decisions based upon international law, not the Constitution of the United States. That's just outrageous,' Mr. DeLay told Fox News Radio on Tuesday. 'And not only that, but he said . . . he does his own research on the Internet. That is just incredibly outrageous.'

Okay, that is DeLay's quote. As far as I know they quoted him accurately. I don't know what DeLay meant with his internet reference, but the international law quote is accurate. Here is how the libtards at the Post rebut him:

For the record, Justice Kennedy based the juvenile death penalty decision on the U.S. Constitution, not international law. He said the international consensus against the death penalty for juveniles lent support to the national consensus - that would be our nation, not France - that had developed against it.

Yes, he based it on "national consensus" N0T THE LAW. DON'T YOU GET IT? What a bunch of idiots at the editorial board of the Post. They make DeLay's point with their own arguments. And just where did this "national consensus" come from ... the New York Times? the Washington Post? a cocktail party Kennedy was at recently?

He stressed that the decision was based on the court's finding that the evolving standard of decency in the United States now recognized these executions as cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment. That's the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, Mr. DeLay.

WHAT THE HELL IS THE "EVOLVING STANDARD OF DECENCY"??? WHERE DO I FIND IT IN THE CONSTITUTION?

Here are Justice Kennedy's own words: 'The opinion of the world community, while not controlling our outcome, does provide respected and significant confirmation for our own conclusions.'

GOOD ANTHONY. WHEN YOU GO TO YOUR COCKTAIL PARTY YOU CAN TALK WITH THE FROGS AND KRAUTS ABOUT IT ...

Hey Post Disgrace... The Constitution has led us to the longest current government in the world. Your support of UNELECTED judges mandating laws which fit your minority view is wrong. There will be some changes made in the ranks of the judiciary which you will not like.

Tough.

If your views and failed socialist plans were popular you actually could elect people who would push them in the light of day. Instead of being courageous (perish that thought), the Democrats you consistently support install UNELECTED minions to do the liberal dirty work from the benches of our courts. Why? Because the liberal agenda cannot stand the light of day, and you and the Democrats know it. Cowards and manipulators should not stand long in this Nation. You've gotten away with it for decades and "the times they are a changin'".
