Why does Alito want to meet with Dobson? The overlooked part

[BR_Parkway]

of his Thank you note, according to the printed version:

Dear Dr. Dobson:

This is just a short note to express my heartfelt thanks to you and the entire staff of Focus on the Family for your help and support during the past few challenging months.

I would also greatly appreciate it if you would convey my appreciation to the good people from all parts of the country who wrote to tell me that they were praying for me and for my family during this period.

As I said when I spoke at my formal investiture at the White House last week, the prayers of so many people from around the country were a palpable and powerful force.

As long as I serve on the Supreme Court I will keep in mind the trust that has been placed in me.

I hope that we’ll have the opportunity to meet personally at some point in the future.

In the meantime my entire family and I hope that you and the Focus on the Family staff know how we appreciate all that you have done.

Sincerely yours,

Samuel Alito

Once reported, the whole story was focused on him saying Thank you, with the spin that it was simply being polite. But most of the press didn't print it, didn't mention that one line - Dobson will only confirm that was was read to him was accurate, but didn't release the copy. Alito's court spokesperson claims that many such notes were sent out, but won't say to whom.

Call me paranoid, but where those 2 individuals intersect is a scary place indeed.

1. Hey, he needs to get his marching orders somehow. this is the easiest way.

Dobson is one dangerous zealot. Then again, so is Alito

4. "As long as I serve on the Supreme Court I will keep in mind the trust

that has been placed in me."

Pledging his allegience.

2. Must meet for the corrupt 'puke $$$ handover. No more Abramoff...

...style electronic records. And with the NSA tapping all US phones, no telephone conversations. Must meet in person to accept bribes...

5. Alito is having trouble disciplining his dog.

Needs to check out Dobson's wrestling techniques. How to use the belt.
King of his domain. Beat the dog senseless.
