Credit where credit is due- this statement from the FRC is a touch more appropriate than Dobson’s declaration yesterday:
Family Research Council thanks Justice O’Connor, the first woman on the United States Supreme Court, for her nearly twenty-four years of public service.
“The Family Research Council often found itself on the opposite side of her most controversial decisions,” said Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council.
“This past week Justice O’Connor sided with judicial activists and ruled against the display of the Ten Commandments on public property in two cases before the high court that have offended the values of a great segment of the American public.
A slight improvement.

From the FRC press release linked above:
Can we be assured that the 20,000 churches mobilized for political action will voluntarily give up their tax exempt status to indulge in politics? Following the letter of the law without deviation (strict constructionist) is what they want demand from judges so I assume they will live up to their own standards.

Those Dobsonites can’t get anything right, can they?
Justice O’Connor’s “public service” record is a lot longer than 24 years; her service did not begin with a Supreme Court appointment. Arizonans, like me, remember her as the first Majority Leader in the Arizona State Legislature. Her very admirable record as lawmaker and judge would be worthy of note even without the appointment to the highest court in the land.
Dobson is an ass.
