I wouldn't say we "own" any of the branches of gov't, especially the judiciary. Clinton appointed a bunch of clowns during his 8 Long years in power. We have one thin dime's advantage elsewhere.

I don't think your chart really reflects Frist completely. Think what a McCain chart would look like. Some of these guys should be addressed as "Senator Gumby" they're so dang flexible.

The Supremes are 5-4 conservative. They are something like 7-2 republican.

If there are bad votes out there don't you think SOMEONE would be SCREAMING ABOUT THEM RIGHT NOW?

Now, it's a unique opportunity. We should unify around GW Bush and his new Senate majority leader, Bill Frist.

(BTW, I LIKE MY THREAD BETTER. LOL!!)

I don't either.

Great point.

Yep. The Senate over the years has evolved the means for Senators of both parties to maximize their ability to appear just about however they desire to appear to the electorate. Many allied organizations help by giving them maximum cover through creative use of ratings systems.
