The issue is: who will Bush nominate for hte third and fourth possible openings?

Now we're talking. I've always said that he would nominate the 'nuclear candidate'. That would be the right time to go for the throat, since that nominee would push the court well over the tipping point.

Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. In case you haven't noticed, Bush is definitely not into confrontation. Just check his veto record (CFR for example).
