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."
