Minister Takes Role in Miers' Nomination
BLEEEHH!!!!

DENVER (AP) -

He is a child psychologist who heads a conservative Christian ministry some 1,500 miles from Washington, but James Dobson's vast radio audience and White House ties have made him a key player in the fiery debate over Harriet Miers' nomination to the Supreme Court.

Dobson, founder of the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family, drew attention last week when he said Karl Rove, one of President Bush's most trusted advisers, had told him things about Miers "that I probably shouldn't know."

Amid intense pressure to reveal what he knew, Dobson this week said Rove had merely told him that Miers was an evangelical Christian with ties to the anti-abortion movement, and that Rove had spoken to him before Bush announced Miers' nomination.

That episode, combined with Dobson's willingness to endorse Miers when many other prominent conservatives held back, have put him in the middle of the argument over Miers' nomination.
