Just in case anyone believed his dancing around his position on abortion...

"Focus on the Family founder James Dobson said Wednesday that new Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito sent him a letter thanking him and his radio listeners for their support during his Senate confirmation hearings.

Alito wrote that "the prayers of so many people from around the country were a palpable and powerful force. As long as I serve on the Supreme Court, I will keep in mind the trust that has been placed in me," Dobson said on his radio broadcast."


How about THAT all you idiots who refused to filibuster?

5. I agree...if this letter is true....

7. that's what I'm thinking

.. although they said that the wording of the letter is deliberately vague (like the hearings).. They also refused to release the letter.

6. The idiots who refused -- obviously agree with him!

The Democrats we have now are the Republicans of the 1980s.
