I hope you are right of course. And I guess I might have overstated my case. It is possible if the seat that is up at the Supreme Court is one of the conservative ones, they might not filibuster. But if O'Connor or anyone to the left of her leaves the court, and Bush nominates a Scalia type Jurist, I can guarantee a filibuster.

I hope when the time comes, the Repubs point out, as you did, that the Dems already allowed through some equally conservative judges.

Exactly! The Democrats are poised to allow five conservative judges they've labeled "out of the mainstream" to be elevated to the bench. And they're going to tell the country an equally conservative SCOTUS nominee is an "extraordinary circumstance" to restart the filibuster? ROFL. Heck, if I were still a Democrat, I would have said Dingy Harry and Democrats Senators should have just kept them off - they're Bushbots and we lost!!!
