Read the thread started last night that got the whole thing started. My conjecture is the following: Bush doesn't really care about his nominees. He will nominate them and if they get confirmed, fine. But, he wouldn't waste any political capital on them. He doesn't really care about the courts or the Constitution, as his reckless spending has shown. He neutralizes the conservatives by nominating them, but wouldn't really lift a finger to confirm them. The conservatives in the meantime get themselves worked up in righteous anger against the Democrats. I think he sort of miscalculated that this will turn into a wrath against his own party members, but I am sure Karl Rove has some contingency plan worked out. In my opinion, Bush doesn't care about his nominees or not care enough to spend any capital on them. All of that is reserved to get a true RINO in the bench so Souter can have a brother in the court.
Errrr, Bush isn't a Senator. What did he have to do with the moronic 7? All those RINOs hate Bush.
