"This really got O'Reilly mad, and he slammed his hand on the table. "You can't do that," he said."



An incensed Bill O'Reilly tore into the federal court that declared California's Prop. 8 unconstitutional on his Tuesday show.

***

Speaking to analysts Lis Wiehl and Kimberly Guilfoyle, O'Reilly scoffed at the notion that judges could have any say in deciding such matters.

***

O'Reilly and Wiehl then got into a shouting match after Wiehl said that the right to marry was one regulated by the states and not written into the Constitution. O'Reilly said that, if this was the case, then courts should have no place in deciding the constitutionality of any marriage law. Wiehl said that courts had to decide whether rights that had been "bestowed" could be constitutionally taken away. This really got O'Reilly mad, and he slammed his hand on the table.

"You can't do that," he said. "That's tyranny!"

Look into his ratings, both TV and radio. Bill, meet toilet.

He is no longer relevant except to his braindead handfull of disciples.

Personally, I would like to propose a proposition in New York State, where I and Mr. O'Reilly both live, outlawing marriage between Catholics, and annulling any current marriages between Catholics.

I mean... we should be able to vote on that, right?
And if it passes, Bill'O will agree to it, right?
It would be tyranny if he complained about it, right?

Howz it feel to be on the other side, Mr. O'Reilly?
