Joshua Micah Marshall as comparing the Supreme Court to the Ku Klux Klan. This is a metaphor Marshall dismisses as insane. One wishes it were so, but James Dobson is anything but unbalanced in my humble opinion. Rather he is a fairly typical example of homo conservatus circa 2005, ergo an activist even a fanatic who is prepared to push as far as he can a hard as he can on behalf of his self blessed ideology.
In other words he is perfectly sane, Dobson no doubt feels the current political climate at last favors the public expression of the private sentiments he has been wallowing in for years.
Indeed what restrains Dobson's excesses now? Absolutely nothing, hell these guys think they've this far only by way of Gaius Caligula's fabled "immovable rigor" so expect them to say and act on even worse things as time goes on.
Some of these other clowns are utter pussyfooter though, Dobson at least talks like a proper revolutionary, denigrating and demonizing what he as yet cannot destroy or dominate. There is nothing insane about that any more than there was insanity in Leon Trotsky's white hot denunciations of the Tsar and the Provisional Government. In both cases the Xian Revolutionary and the Bolshevik smelled blood in the water and are therefore looking to set harsh terms to the debate...even if the question is only "hang em' or shoot em"?
