President Bush is way ahead of the democrats. He will flood them with nominees. If they confirm no one, they will be in big trouble in the 2004 elections for irresponsible obstructionism. If they confirm only white males on the idea that women and hispanics would be tough to oppose for the US Supreme Court, that looks terrible too. If they confirm some, while obstructing others who have equally good or better credentials, they also take a hit. Consider the 2004 elections: Bush and the Senate Republicans go into it with strong national security credentials, advocacy of tax cuts, reform of social security, all winners. Democrats go in having obstructed all of them, and no other issue to offer.

I'm with you. A repeat of 2002 with the 'RATS losing even more seats in the House and Senate !
Plus Bush gets re-elected.
