What Frist and the Theocrats Want

Armando at Daily Kos reads it correctly, the way I see it (I especially like the "sock puppet" comparison to Frist:

What is the work that James Dobson sock puppet Senator Frist will do for the extremists in control of the Republican Party? Very simple - they want extremist judges AND Supreme Court Justices who will:

(1) Overturn Roe v. Wade, destroying a women's right to choose. To be followed by a federal law banning all abortions.

(2) Eviscerate the separation of church and state. To be followed by continued attacks on science and the imposition of the teaching of one belief system in the classroom. Creationism as science.

(3) Strip existing legal protections of the environment through judicially activist interpretations of federal law.

(4) Eliminate workers and union rights.

(5) Weaken civil rights protections through outlandish and unfounded readings of the Constitution and federal civil rights laws. End affirmative action, shred employment discrimination laws. Legalize discrimination against gays.
