Those in the minority were all appointed by Repubs. 4-3.

This ruling should put pressure on Pres. Bush to nominate a USSC justice that is on par with the ideology of Patrick Henry at least. Anything less could wind up like Stevens, Kennedy, Souter or Sandra 'Miss International Law' O'Connor (Must give props to O'Connor for her dissent though).

That's funny. He will do nothing of the sort. Oh, far from it. Mark my words, he will not denounce this court decision, nor will anyone in his administration. Furthermore, he will not push for any Congressional legislation to counter it, nor will he permit the same to come across his desk. If it did, he might even be able to find his veto stamp.

And I'd love to be wrong about this and have to eat my words.
