A few more quotes from Tom DeLay’s interview with conservative journalists yesterday afternoon. A year ago, DeLay was criticized by Democrats (and some Republicans) for his vocal opposition to the decisions of some federal courts. Yesterday, as he discussed the GOP agenda, he was asked about issues he considered unfinished business, and he was quick to bring up the courts:

On the social side, my favorite is to end abortion as we know it. I didn’t want to leave Congress until I’d done that, and that’s a regret. And hold the judiciary accountable. We’d just gotten started on that and I hope that they will continue it and keep it up, because we’ve got to first convince the lawyers of America, who have been brainwashed by their law schools, that the Congress does have a responsibility in holding the judiciary accountable, and secondly we do have the right to limit jurisdiction, to break up courts, to impeach judges.
