On Damning Your Protector
The Los Angeles Times reports on want was said at a conference of evangelicals aimed at "reining in the courts." Here are a few samples from the article:
An audio recording obtained by the Los Angeles Times features two of the nation's most influential evangelical leaders, at a private conference with supporters, laying out strategies to rein in judges, such as stripping funding from their courts in an effort to hinder their work.
"There's more than one way to skin a cat, and there's more than one way to take a black robe off the bench," said Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, according to an audiotape of a March 17 session. The tape was provided to The Times by the advocacy group Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
Very few people know this, that the Congress can simply disenfranchise a court," Dobson [an evangelical political leader (ds)] said. "They don't have to fire anybody or impeach them or go through that battle. All they have to do is say the 9th Circuit doesn't exist anymore, and it's gone.
Even Bush was not spared criticism. Dobson and Perkins encouraged their supporters to demand that the president act as aggressively on the judiciary as he has for his Social Security overhaul."These are not Bill Frist's nominees; these are President George W. Bush's nominees," Perkins said. "He needs to be out there putting pressure on these senators who are weak on this issue and standing in obstruction to these nominations," he said.
Look out, these guys are nuts. They are going after the very court system that protects them.
Remember, it was Dobson who called our attention to SpongeBob SquarePants as promoting a homosexual agenda! Referring to the SpongeBob incident, Dobson spoke what is no doubt the truth,
"This will not be the last thing that you read about that makes me look ridiculous," he said.
