The course correction has got to be passing the nuclear option.

There isn't any legal question there.
That is purely an issue of will. If the GOP won't do it with 55 Senators, they're going to lose their pro-life credentials.

George Bush is in his final term.
The pro-lifers are never going to support Jeb Bush again unless he "comes to Jesus" in the 11th hour.
But the Republican Party is still the pro-life party.
If they won't pass the nuclear option so that we can change the Judiciary that did this, the pro-lifers are not going to trust them.
McCain is finishing himself by waffling on the judges.

It's a calamity.

Dear Vicomte13,

I think you badly underestimate the problem.

The problem isn't that we can't get enough conservative judges appointed.

The problem is that individuals who are trained as lawyers and become successful enough to be considered as judges, whether they are of the left or right, have come to accept the doctrine of judicial supremacy.

Thus, you have an appeals court with a majority-Republican appointees upholding the illegal acts of the murderer greer.

Thus you have a Supreme Court with six, count 'em, six Republican appointees, including the turncoat Anthony Kennedy, mush-for-brains David Souter, and never-met-a-fence-she-didn't-like-to-be-aroused-by Sandra Day O'Connor.

Judges, by and large, are the problem. Judges, by and large, whether starting out as Republicans or Democrats, believe that rule by judges is the natural order of things.

Justice Scalia, who explicitly declaims against judicial supremacy, is seen by most as a right-wing kook.

The executive needs to assert the equal prerogative of interpreting the Constitution against the judiciary.

The failure here is not of not getting enough Republican judges through the Senate. It's of two men who refuse to do that which is within their power, as you yourself have stated before.

As judges worship the idol of precedent, the Bush brothers have made matters only worse by initially challenging the judiciary, and then backing down when it illegally usurped their constitutional authority. Now, the precedent-worshipping black-robed tyrants will remind everyone that the Bush boys bowed to judicial supremacy, themselves.

It's later than you think.
