My guess: The deal was so the democrats could save face and keep things the way they are. They didn't want to lose all their power, which is what the constitutional option would have done.
Several judges will go through. Then they will get tough and angry and have Goebbels, I mean Dean, start rilin' the troops about being victims of the Jews, I mean the Christians.
Darn......how history repeats itself!
So far, two out of three. Keep an eye out for a Jewish attorney fron SF to be nominated by Bush.
