DeLay's agenda

The Talk of the Town section of the April 25 issue of The New Yorker has a commentary entitled Without Delay. It quotes Tom DeLay responding to a question by the Washington Times about who was to blame for "activist judges":
I blame Congress over the last fifty to a hundred years for not standing up and taking its responsibility given to it by the Constitution. The reason the judiciary has been able to impose a separation of church and state that's nowhere in the Constitution is that Congress didn't stop them. The reason we had judicial review is because Congress didn't stop them. The reason we had a right to privacy is because Congress didn't stop them.
So there you have it, the article concludes, the DeLay agenda: no separation of church and state, no judicial review, and no right to privacy.

And people ask why we're getting increasing alarmed about the way our government is headed.
