If Bush actually nominates a Scalia or Thomas conservative and Democrats try to filibuster, Republicans should exploit this latest ruling for all it's worth in the media, then twist the arms of Lindsey Graham and someone else to go NUCLEAR.
"In the FR members poll, HELL NO and NO are combining for better than 97 percent of the vote. I can't recall a margin like that before. This ruling has really struck a nerve. This story has legs."
===========================
FReepers have come close to 97% on other key national emergency issues in the past. This particualr issue hits home with a great impact than most because that is exactly where it land - YOUR HOME!
===========================
"Speaking purely from a strategic point of view, it couldn't come at a better time if we have a Supreme Court retirement."
