I think this is the wrong approach. Reagan did not compromise his core principles on, for example, national defense -- instead, he acted on principle and explained the principle to the people.

I would like to see Bush elevate Thomas, and use that as an opportunity to communicate the importance of strict Constitutional interpretation, based on original sources rather than bad precedent.

It's pushing our principles that will win in the long run -- not just playing little political games with the dems.
