It'll never happen. A stronger, more conservative GOP Congress will emerge in 2010. People hate one-party rule, and Dems aren't immune from this either. See 1994.
I don't think the turn around will be that soon....the pendulumm swings slower in the Congress than elsewhere. Took how many decades of lib-rule to get a somewhat conservative majority?
However, that still leaves Hillary with 8 years to make Supreme nominations and, as evidenced in the recent past, the Republicans don't have the nads to obstruct a nominee like the Dems do. THEY get away with it, Pubs do not. THey'll get hammered by the press if they pulled that threatened filibuster crap that the Dems do.
Add at least one more Ginsburg to the Big Bench.
Doesn't sound like a victory to me....
