For some time I've argued on the History network board (H-CONSERV) that all of this---terrorism, judicial activism, and illegal immigration will be tied together in the next attack. Either some judge is going to hamper the border service further for violating some illegal's "civil rights," or some judge is going to release a terrorist, but I fear that the next attack, which will be a biggie, will come from terrorists snuck across the Mexican border and it will ultimately tie into judicial activism.
Nietsche may be right: if it doesn't kill us, the backlash against both judicial activism, the MSM, and illegal immigration will completely sink the Dems, and probably take down a lot of Republicans, too. Bush, likely, will not be affected, but someone like Tancredo will be elevated to the "Prophet" status.
