And what's wrong with that? According to Alexander Hamilton, the judiciary was to be the "least dangerous" of the three branches of government. When the federal courts start to force things like busing on the states, they have overstepped their boundaries. Even the U.S. Supreme Court doesn't have the power to nullify the 9th and 10th Amendments.

What's wrong with that is that you would take all the power away from the national courts, which would in effect make these 'important' nominations (you know the ones we keep hearing about incessantly) Bush is supposed to make moot. And that in effect would require 'conservatives' to judge Bush on the rest of his record...The Republican party would either have to return to its mantra from 20 years ago chasing out these faux conservatives or watch every real conservative, the ones that were still fooled and hanging on to the Republican party for this very issue, leave overnight..
