Great jumping pollywogs, can this nimrod shut his trap?
“I’ll be off at the Pope’s funeral but just so y’all don’t miss me too much, here’s a videotape of me assailing them evil judges who have the temerity to make legal decisions.”
For some reason DeLay makes me think of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” being sung as a duet by Screaming Sam Kinison and Andrew Dice Clay.
“Mistakes? Not a freakin’ chance. Boom!”
“I did it MY WAY YOU ASSHOLE! Oh oh ooooohhh!”
Hello everybody!! It’s me CRA-A-A-A-A-A-A-ZY Tom DeLay!!
And here at Crazy tom’s Judge Liquidators…EVERY JUDGE MUST GO!!! THe old models of Run Amok judges must make way for the new subservient line. That’s why I am throwing out the Constitution and pillorying all the current judges I have in stock! Here at Crazy Tom DeLay’s every judge is OUT OF CONTROL and MUST GO!!! How can I do it? I’m CRA-A-A-A-A-A-AZY!!! Speical discount for batshit crazy fundamentalists!
No Democratic principle is too sacred here at CRAY TOM’s judge liquidators, but act fast, before the jig is up.
At Crazy Tom’s Judge Liquidators we do not accept checks…or balances.
Every word he says now is more rope to hang him with.
I think the Repubs are about to toss him overboard. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy
One thing Tom Delay has in common with Terri Schiavo is, he can’t die with dignity.
I hope you’re right. And there are signs. Also from the linked story:
Disagree with the VP at your own risk, Gen. Powell?
I really think that Mr. DeLay has a firm understanding of the constitution. With that firm understanding comes the realization that laws against gay marriage will not stand up to that constitution.
He’s laying the groundwork for an amendment push or future public opinion. This never had anything to do with Schiavo.
Did laws against gay marriage violate the constitution in 1950?
Did laws against interracial marriage violate the Constitution in 1950?
To help answer that question we’d need to know which laws you’re referring to.
Any state law that said, in essence, “In this state, marriage may be contracted only between a man and a woman.” In the 1950 era, there were some.
I think it’s pretty clear that DeLay is saying or doing anything, to the point of appearing to be a scumsucking turdweasel, in order to distract the public from the fact that he’s a corrupt scumsucking turdweasel.
It seems to me there are at least three ways of answering your question:
Which of these three questions most closely approximates what you mean by asking whether the laws were unconstitutional? If none of them do, can you elaborate on what you mean by that question? It seems to me that, until the constitutionality of a law is tested, the law is Schrodinger’s Cat: we don’t know its status until the lid’s opened.

Great post Gangster. At first I started to laugh at the last line, until I remembered that is exactly where it seems that DeLay (bloody hypocrite) and others of his ilk want to take our nation. Then I started to cry. I hope for all of our sakes that he rapidly goes the way of the Newt.
I’d be interested in seeing some, as when I did my research a while back, I had a rather difficult time finding any laws that would have prevented gay marriage that far back. I’d bet there were a couple, but the laws I found didn’t refer to the gender of the spouses as a requirement, much to the chagrin of those who argued against gay marriage because they didn’t want to change the laws.
"You may be asking, how do you do it, Crazy Tom Delay?
VOLUME! VOLUME! VOLUME!"
"For several years, he said on the videotape Thursday, “unelected, and all too often, unaccountable courts have invented out of whole cloth previously invisible and unasserted constitutional rights to privacy, abortion on demand and same-sex marriage.” "
Yeah, too many rights is ruinin’ this land of ours. 'Specially that right to privacy. The will of the people says nuthin is private.
I think the years of inhaling pesticide fumes have finally caught up to Tom. His cerebral cortex is being eaten away, and pretty soon it’ll be like Al Capone in his final days.
Very nice, Gangster.
Some have suggested that the GOP will try to throw Delay overboard in an attempt to distance themselves from unpopular business of late, particularly Terri Schiavo but not excluding such things as the Social Security scheme. They’ll try to look like they’re throwing out the problem child and setting off in a new direction, as they continue to support the same ends a little less vocally.
It would be great for those on the left if Delay went back to the bug business, but I hope Democratic leaders are wise enough to not let the GOP score points off of it.
Bricker, are you planning on providing those cites so we can determine whether they violated the constitution in 1950?
Out of curiosity, do you have an opinion as to whether Tom DeLay is an ethical man or not? It would be neat to read something that’s topical to the OP before we dive into legal semantics.
Great leapin’ Jebus. He actualy disparaged the right to Privacy? Out loud?
Is he TRYING to commit political suicide here? I hope so.
