In the report of the Supreme Court decision upholding the ban on Partial Birth Abortion. Who should get credit for the make up of the court that led to a 5-4 decision? In the opinion of Brian’s Blog, it is one Fred Dalton Thompson.

Had Fred Thompson been unsuccessful in shepherding the nomination of Chief Justice John Roberts the decision would not have been 5-4 as Roberts was one of the 5 to uphold the ban on this horrendous procedure.

Thank God for Fred Thompson’s service.
