How much do you want to bet that we won't see any more federalist/Constitutionalist/originalist jurists nominated for any circuit or lower court?
Or if they are, I doubt very much that the Democrats will allow them up for a vote, using the Miers standard, of course.
Mark my words, Bush has, proverbially speaking, jumped the shark, and his administration ain't coming back.

Your comments are worth repeating in full. For all those who say Bush is too weak to overcome the current Republican dominated Senate, too weak to beat back the RINOs in the Gang of 14, too weak to defeat Kennedy and Leahy, too weak to stand up to Pelosi and Reid, I say this guy is finished. Do you hear me? He's FINISHED? Washington is all about power. Bush wimped out. All that "bring it on" bravado was just so much BS from the son of another presidential wimp, old "read my lips" daddy Bush. And to think I once held this guy in such high regard.
Stick a fork in him, he's done.

There are half a dozen in the Senate right now. Two out of Committee, four in committee. One of those 4 is a shoo-in, but the other 3 are hot potatos.
It's GOP leadership that is not bringing them up for a vote, for the same reason the SCOTUS nomination is meek.
