"Bush will appoint no SC judges in the next 5 years. Not one activist judge, by nature, will step down and allow a conservative justice to be appointed. Not a possibility.
You think they will all still be alive in 5 years? I'd take that action, might even give you odds."

Your argument that the great conservative Bush will appoint SC justices is bullsh**. You have to rely on them DYING to even make the case. Yet, as a Bushbot, that is EXACTLY your LIKELY scenario. Sorry. No sale.

People like you have to lurk in the dark recesses of the web because very few people agree with you in real life. This is why you are statistically insignificant and why George W. Bush is very smart in ignoring you. Your candidate will be crushed by GWB in 2004. Enjoy. Loser.

I understand you're not convinced Bush will pick "another Scalia" (or whomever is to your liking). But isn't it fair to say that Bush's SC (and other federal court) picks will be FAR more to you liking than would Howard Dean's or Dick Gephardt's?

Actuarial analysis tells me the odds are strongly in favor of at least one vacancy on the Supreme Court in the next 5 years. I'd estimate the chances at:

0: 10%
1: 40%
2: 30%
3 or more: 20%

Rehnquist is 80. Sandra Day is 74. Stevens is 84. Ginsburg is 71.

Bush has a strong record of nominating conservative justices, and has even gotten many of the most conservative past the Democrat filibuster gauntlet.
