I personally hope the Supremes postpone deciding this until after the election.

The polls showing Lautenberg leading are slanted. Let a week go by and whatever bounce the Dims got will deflate. Lautenberg is vulnerabe due to his age, his appeasement to Sadam, his proximity to this mess, his flat-line demeanor, and the fact that no voter can truly believe he'll serve out his term. The 'Pubs need to remind people that a vote for Laut is a vote for anonymous; he's Senator X. I sent some bucks to Forrester and advise all to do the same.

Let the court take its time. If we lose the election we can still play that option. But pursuing it before the election merely hands the Dims another goad to prod their herd with.

One war at a time.

Very well put! Lautenberg could be a shill himself, if he wins the election he could very well "step down" after a short time and a "favorite son" put in his place

lautenberg at 78 is not likely to want to spend 6 years in the senate.
