The Fighting Jesus, Part II

Please forgive the lengthy break--after Thursday's all-day, and Friday's hangover, I decided to ring in the new year without a post, per se. Well, one of 2005's resolutions is to show a little more discipline when it comes to writing...

Because I was slow to post, I missed out on commenting on this story, which notes that James Dobson is threatening to "target" six Democratic Senators if they "obstruct" any Bush court appointees. Hmmm.

Dobson shows himself ignorant of two things here: the Constitution, which expressly authorizes the Senate to provide "advice and consent" to executive appointees, and the New Testament, which sort of modifies the whole vengence meme that permeates the Old Testament.

Maybe someone out to tell him to read his damned Bible once in a while...
