Winning creates political capital. Getting nominees confirmed, fairly easily, will make the President more popular and influential. .... when President Bush wins this court battle, it will make it even easier for him to win the next court battles.

I agree with this. For those that thought Bush should hold Roberts back, I think you need to get the first one thru before you can put up the really contentious picks.

The left's not happy, but a guy who was first in his class at Harvard Law, with as few written opinions as he has will be tough to stop. A fillibuster won't stick, IMO.

In other words, concede defeat in order to win later even though you won the election? Why not just nominate the kind of judge you think belongs on the bench?
