He Said Constitutional Scholar, Not Mathematical Genius.
So Tom DeLay went on the electric radio and lectured us poor ignorant peons.
We don’t understand the constitution or the Supreme Court. He says that the Supreme Court doesn’t have “people to enforce their rulings.”
DeLay claimed, “right now, the American people don’t understand that the Supreme Court, when it makes a ruling, it’s just an opinion if no one enforces that ruling.”
Gosh, I wouldn’t say that to Governor Faubus on the Little Rock schoolhouse steps or George Wallace at the University of Alabama.
Then, to get prissy about his book learning, DeLay says…
DeLay argued that “it’s not in their authority to write law by ten unelected, unaccountable people, lawyers, and if – this is a red line that we’re drawing. If they rule against marriage, we will all defy them.”
Good luck with that, idiot boy. They are not writing law, they are interpreting the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. All freekin’ ten of them.
Now, when the Republican judges dismissed your case, THAT was writing law. No whining then, right?
The guy is a complete idiot.
Thanks to Mike for the heads up.
I would say that ol’ Tom needs to read the Constitution, but I figure he wouldn’t understand it.
1What a p–s-ant he is, as my little old Oklahoma grandma would have said.
But you already know that. I know you hate him. You just keep on demonstrating your good taste.
2“DeLay argued that “it’s not in their authority to write law by ten unelected, unaccountable people, lawyers,” Who are the ten unelected he’s talking about? Last I counted there are nine Supreme Court justices.
3“it’s not in their authority to write law by ten unelected, unaccountable people, lawyers, … Last I checked there are nine justices, not ten. Maybe he shouldn’t comment.
410? Last time I looked there were 9 Supreme Court justices. Which may explain why we get 5-4 decisions and darn few 5-5 stalemates.
Ignorance is so painful to watch.
5He thinks Marbury is a brand of cigarette and has no idea why it sued Madison.
6Can’t Tom and Christie just get a room together and shut up forever? This from a desperate resident of New Jersey who longs for the days of our last honest governor, Tom Kaine,
7Tom Delay is the lone holdout in the remake of the timeless classic, Fifteen Angry Men and a Baby.
8DeLay argued…. “If they rule against marriage, we will all defy them.” What are “they” going to do, go out and get gay married?
9What if the Supreme Court rules in favor of marriage, Tom, and lets gays marry?
10As a teen working on a Texas ranch west of FtW I was the token white temporary on a 4 man crew, the three full timers being Texas born “Mexicans”. They taught me a couple if Spanglish phrases that have held up during the intervening years. One describes deLay to a T, “terco como una mosca”. Stubborn as a fly. The fly that will land on your face a dozen times for nothing but the pleasure of waking you. The other phrase applies equally well but Miss JJ’s momma might habla that español.
11Huh.
12Tom can kiss my big blue gay ass. He and what army are gonna invade my wedding if and when and probably not that I choose to get gay married?
13No, it’s not just an opinion if no one enforces that ruling. It’s law that isn’t being enforced. You know, much like fraud and graft laws where banks are concerned.
Ten? DeLay can count that high? Did he have one finger left over after he got to ten?
And just how are all of us going to “defy” them? By not getting gay married?
I haven’t seen this much nonsense since Ted Cruz’s last speech.
14Tom at one time was an exterminator. I think the bug killing juice he used is paying him a belated visit to his little grey cells.
15what Glen Maxey said……………..:)
16So DeLay was interviewed by Phyllis Schlafly. Good grief … I thought that old battle axe had died years ago and that her shriveled, mummified corpse was still sitting in that rocking chair in the attic of the Bates Motel. But no, she’s still tottering along at age 90, barely living proof that the Republican Party isn’t merely the party of old white men. She looked like a gruesome old bat 35 years ago when she was in the rotunda of the Illinois state capitol, fighting the Equal Rights Amendment, and the years can only have taken a further toll on that desiccated hatchet face. The grandma of your worst nightmares.
17Upon further reflection, I believe that Phyllis Schlafly is really dead. DeLay was speaking with a zombie.
18The right kind of entrepreneur could make a bundle selling remedial civics classes to Republicans. DeLay could sign up right after Ben Carson.
19Schlafly is a clear example of “only the good die young”. There was another Republican recently who touted the idea of not having to do what the Supreme Court rules. Apparently the idea of ignoring laws is gaining popularity in the Republican party.
I now need to go take a shower after just reading about these two.
20So, according to DeLay’s education level, we might get a 6-4 opinion? Or a 5-5? Or a 7-3?
Exciting!
21By committing adultery many times over, DeLay has already defied THE law of marriage, so exactly what is he threatening?
22In fact, by his own behavior, has proven that HE is against marriage hisownself. The tenth member of SCROTUS must be him.
We ought to replace that old expression “dumb as a fence post” with “dumb as DeLay.”
23This is really beyond the pale, so-called “Constitutional Conservatives” who think they can just defy the highest court in the land. Another prominent Republican said something similar the other day, I can’t remember which one, but he said that Court rulings were just opinions and we are under no obligation to follow them. I think it was Santorum? These people won’t be happy until we have a second civil war
24@UmptyDump: I’m actually liking the idea that for the past 35 years old Schlafly has been living in a nightmare what with women becoming more empowered, gays gaining acceptance and legal abortions. And the two idiots that she politically supported, Bachmann & Santorum, are both disliked by the general population.
25Also, as a Catholic, Schlafly probably thinks Pope Francis is a commie liberal.
26Delay prolly thinks Veep Darth Vader is set to break a 5-5 Scotus tie in Delay’s favor.
27According to crazy billionaires it is perfectly normal for someone to live to be 600, so Schlafly still has many good years of life ahead of her.
28Apparently God is putting off His reunion with little Phyllis as long as possible…can’t blame him myself!
29so with a 10 member scrotum tom wouldn’t have to resort to open carry.
since he’s already advertising for idiots, could you be surprised at the way he mangles the court’s job.
they say cream rises to the top, but i’ve seen plenty of floating turds; getting elected.
30If they rule against marriage, we all will defy them. What does that mean in English other than if scotus rules against same sex marriage, Delay will marry a man?
31While in the Legislature I am told that DeLay bragged that he never read any legislation. Or probably much of anything else except maybe how to kill roaches.
