Irony... crippling...

lethran linked to this story, which is basically about the House taking another end-run at preventing gay marriage. The following passage caught my eye:

A parade of Republican speakers lamented the unbridled power of federal judges to thwart majority will, although no federal court has yet ruled on the 1996 law.

Rep. John Hostettler, R-Indiana, the bill's author, likened the Supreme Court to the Soviet Politburo. "As few as five people in black robes can look at a particular issue and determine for the rest of us, insinuate for the rest of us that they are speaking as the majority will. They are not," Hostettler said.

Funny, I didn't hear him complaining when those same people put his candidate in the Oval Office.

Well, that's just stupid. Everybody knows the National Security Council is the American Politburo.
