I think people are overlooking the importance of this. The Massachusetts Supreme court cemented in the publics eye what judicial activism meant and what strict construction is all about. The Massachusetts Supreme court did us a huge favor. The public was watching and they didn't like it one bit. This directly works against the Democratss trying to filibuster judges that are presented to the public properly, that is they interpret the law not make it up. What Bush was saying is he saw this and is going to use it to build off of. We would be wise to follow his lead.

It also works in favor of the appointment of a strict constructionist as the next chief justice. It's beginning to look like this battle will be sooner rather than later. How does Chief Justice Thomas sound to you?

No. Would in flame the media immediately and guarantee a disaster.

Bush will promote Justice Scalia to chief justice and backfill from there. Maybe even re-nominate Miguel Estrada.

Do you think the RATS are gonna be dumb enough to filibuster a Hispanic again?
