James Dobson and Harriet Miers

I don't really have a problem with James Dobson approving or disapproving of Bush's nomination of his personal lawyer to the Supreme Court of the United States of America. The problem is that Dr. D. is a religious leader and like Pat Robertson and the Grahams holds no political office and other than his views as a private citizen, he should have zero influence on our government's operation. And yet, in this administration I would say that he does.
