In fine bipartisan fashion, first it was braggart Al Gore:

"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

Then Hillary Clinton and Rick Lazio fell for the bill "602p" hoax:

Now it's Rep. Tom Delay:

"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. "And not only that, but he said in session that he does his own research on the Internet? That is just incredibly outrageous."

Orin Kerr's take:

"What's next? I fully expect DeLay to introduce H.R. 8615, The Stop Anthony Kennedy From Using the Internet Act of 2005. Stay tuned."
