Nah, no worries. Let 2 retire over the next 2 years and we get 2 appointments. Hang on to everything (Prez, House & Senate) in 2004 and replace retiring leftists then, before 2006 and 2008.

I'm figuring Rudy will be Prez in 2008, no telling what justices he will name, though I am sure they will be ok.

Rudy in '08 and you're sure his SC nominees will be OK?

You've got to be kidding. Guiliani doesn't believe in the 2nd Amendment so I wouldn't trust any of his court appointments. It's a moot point, however, since (with his views) he can't get the Republican nomination.
