Journal Gazette | 04/25/2005 | Frist frosts Democrats with filibuster talk at faith forum

Charles W. Colson, head of Prison Fellowship Ministries [and Nixon’s hatchet man], also appeared by videotape. He said Senate Democrats are trying to use the filibuster “to seize what they lost at the ballot box and to prevent the appointment of judges, holding the judiciary hostage.”? Their actions, he said, “are destroying the balance of power, which was a vital Christian contribution to the founding of our nation.” [?!?!]

James Dobson, chairman of Focus on the Family, spoke from the church’s pulpit and criticized the Supreme Court, seven of whose nine members were named by Republican presidents. The court’s majority, Dobson said, “are unelected and unaccountable and arrogant and imperious and determined to redesign the culture according to their own biases and values, and they’re out of control.”
