WASHINGTON - Republican Rep. Tom DeLay said Tuesday that former and current Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg "don't get it" when they complain about conservative criticism of judges.

"All wisdom doesn't reside in ... people in black robes," DeLay said.

"Didn't you see the comments of Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Ginsburg over the last couple of weeks?" DeLay, R-Texas, asked reporters after a speech to a group of Christian conservatives. "There's still a problem, they don't get it. There are three branches of government. All wisdom doesn't reside in ... people in black robes."

Earlier, the former House majority leader told activists he agreed with their premise that there is a "war on Christianity.

"Our faith has always been in direct conflict with the values of the world," DeLay said. "We are, after all, a society that provides abortion on demand, has killed millions of innocent children, degrades the institution of marriage, and all but treats Christianity like some second-rate superstition."

Pastor: Tom DeLay Represents 'Righteousness'

POSTED: 5:42 pm PST March 28, 2006


WASHINGTON -- Embattled U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay was warmly welcomed by conservative Christians at a conference in Washington.

snip...
America today is "a society that abides abortion on demand, has killed millions of innocent children, degrades the institution of marriage, and often treats Christianity like some second-rate superstition," DeLay said.

The Rev. Rick Scarborough, who organized the conference, said he believes that God appointed Tom DeLay "to represent righteousness in government." He told the congressman to remember that "God always does his best work right after a crucifixion."

1. Good idea . . .

I just want the guy in jail, but crucifixion is an acceptable alternative.

2. Tom Delay also wants to carry a concealed weapon...

What's he got planned? :shrug:

3. Yes, Tom, we know you think those in white robes have more wisdom.

And, anyone who claims to be a christian and points to Delay or Bush** or so many other corrupt republicans as righteous is nuts!

[undeterred]

4. These days hardly any wisdom comes from black robes.

What about the thousands of Iraqi children killed and American children who don't have enough to eat?

What about the women forced into prostitution in Saipan?

And isn't it the right wing fundamentalists who have degraded Christianity into a second rate political cult?
