I don't see much hope for the Judiciary without a supermajority and a conservative president.
I only heard of TFT a couple months ago. It occurred to me that TFT could be to the study of History, what the Calculus was to Math.
Although the Baby Boomer generation technically extends through 1964 using census population counts, Howe & Strauss determined that Boomers born from 1961 through 1964 are more likely to identify themselves with the post-boomer generation. Silents born from 1943 through 1945 are more likely to identify themselves with the Baby Boomers than the non-Boomer Silents. The following adjustments shift the voting probabilities to align with the generational self-identification.
In 2000, the Boomers and older Silents had a combined total of 109,045,630 eligible voters.
In 2000, the Gen-X and Gen-Y population had a combined total of 89,741,842 eligible voters.
In 2004, the Gen-X and Gen-Y population will have a combined total of 105,834,510 eligible voters.
In 2008, the Gen-X and Gen-Y population will have a combined total of 122,310,351 eligible voters. This will be the first national election where the post-Boomer voters are a majority of the eligible voting population,
In 2012, the Gen-X and Gen-Y population will have a combined total of 138,894,753 eligible voters.
