E-mail from James Dobson

Wow, I found this e-mail in my inbox. Evidently at some point in my life I subcribed to something at Focus on the Famiy. At least we know the folks at Focus on the Family are fighting the good fight against those dirty, nasty liberals. (*sarcasm*)


There's Still Time to Help End Judicial Filibusters

News reports indicate it could be just a matter of days until an attempt is made by the Senate's Republican leadership to enact the "constitutional option" to end judicial filibusters.
The plan -- to restore Senate tradition by once again making 51 votes sufficient to confirm a nominee to the federal bench -- is staunchly opposed by the same Democrats who have abused filibusters for the past four years to block some of President Bush's appeals court nominees. This obstructionism, unprecedented in U.S. history, is being carried out by liberals simply because they don't want men and women who believe in strictly interpreting the Constitution to be confirmed.

What kind of judges do the liberals want? Those like the ones who allowed Terri Schiavo to be starved and dehydrated to death. Those like the ones who don't believe it should be illegal for abortionists to suck the brains out of nearly delivered children. Those who have ruled to overturn the traditional definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Those who believe pornography showing women being raped, mutilated and defecated upon is protected by the First Amendment -- but the Ten Commandments are not.
