Note last statement:

"And not only that, but he [Justice Kennedy] said in session that he
does his own research on the Internet? That is just incredibly

DeLay Criticizes Supreme Court Justice
Calls Work on Schiavo Case 'Incredibly Outrageous'
By JESSE J. HOLLAND, AP
  
   
WASHINGTON (April 20) - House Majority Leader Tom DeLay says Supreme
Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's work from the bench has been "incredibly
outrageous," his latest salvo at the federal judiciary in the weeks
following the courts' refusal to stop Terri Schiavo's death.

DeLay also labeled a lot of the courts' Republican appointees as
"judicial activists," a term applied by conservatives to judges they
dislike for not following what they call strict interpretations of the
Constitution.

The No. 2 Republican in the House has been openly critical of the
federal courts since they refused to order the reinsertion of Schiavo's
feeding tube. And he pointed to Kennedy as an example of Republican
members of the Supreme Court who were activist and isolated.

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