The Dr. Dobson Inquisition

UPDATE: HEAR DR. DOBSON IN HIS OWN WORDS HERE

Senators Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) and Chuck Schumer (D- N.Y.) are threatening to subpoena Dr. James Dobson to require him to appear before the Judiciary Committee. They want to know what Dr. Dobson knows about the President's Supreme Court nominee, Harriet Miers.

There's been no committee zeal to get to the bottom of who leaked confidential files on the FBI background investigation on Clarence Thomas. That illegal leak yielded information on Anita Hill's unsubstantiated statements about her boss. Anita Hill's complaints about Clarence Thomas were relayed from committee staff to liberal advocacy groups to Nina Totenberg, reporter for National Public Radio (NPR). All these abuses are simply "business as usual" on Capitol Hill. To hear Dr. Dobson tell his side of the story, tune in to the daily broadcast of "Focus on the Family"

In explaining what he knows, Dobson said: “What Karl told me is that some of those individuals took themselves off that list and they would not allow their names to be considered, because the process has become so vicious and so vitriolic and so bitter, that they didn't want to subject themselves or the members of their families to it.”

I wonder if that is ALL that Rove told him. I think he assured him that this would give the Pro-life side five votes to overturn Roe v Wade.

Funny how Roe v Wade gave women the right to privacy concerning their doctor to allow abortion, but Rush Limbaugh's medical records should be opened for prosecutorial purposes...

Whoa! Let's not deal in specualtion here. I'm not comfortable with these "private" conference calls. I know why they do them and I have even been part of them, but lets cut the "off the record" stuff here.

Dobson or anyone else should not have special access to the White House. I know that's a dream but it's how I feel.

If a person makes themself available to be used by others it's bound to happen. I try to avoid that. My advice to Dobson would be avoid even the appearance of sin.
