DeLay Has a Beef with Justice Kennedy and the Internet

The other day, for reasons which may only be discernible to DeLay, his ire was focused on Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. Among the usual cries of "judicial activsm" and decrying Kennedy's "incredibly outrageous" behavior in ruling the juvenile death penalty unconstitutional, DeLay offered a rather strange nugget of wisdom in a Fox News Radio interview:
"Absolutely. We've got Justice Kennedy writing decisions based upon international law, not the Constitution of the United States? That's just outrageous. And not only that, but he said in session that he does his own research on the Internet? That is just incredibly outrageous."
Well, I have to take offense to that. 100% of my research on this article came from the Internet. I'd consider it a fairly well researched, and accurate article on DeLay's actions. Is this a reflection of DeLay's complete lack of knowledge about the Internet(s)? I know it's mostly porn and spam, but I imagine a Supreme Court justice could quickly and easily find a lot of useful legal information, news, and past rulings here, here, and here, and that's just after a quick Googling.
