And last week's ruling gave us more ammunition. President Bush has a tendancy to let the little things look like "losses" and then, when it is really, really important, win convincingly in a way that nobody was expecting.

"So far, the President has never let me down in the BIG fight. I believe he has been preparing for this a long time. I don't believe he is going to cave."
I agree. For instance, we've had Republican govenors here in Florida make some really terrible picks for our Supreme Court -- but Jeb really stepped up to the plate with his last two appointments, Justices Bell & Cantero.
