yes, that why its better to have this as an issue rather then have the SCOTUS overturn it and give the Dems an issue.

The NJ fiasco permanently destroyed McGreevey's poll numbers (in the 30s). This decision might allow CA to be competitive for Bush in 2004, and a possible defeat of Boxer (by Arnold, denied a shot at being governor by an activist liberal court). And, it could be useful to focus on illegal alien voting that is surely coming along with these licenses.

I say, let's play the political angle on this. Its California we are talking about, we have nothing to lose.
