Another point in W.'s strategery.....and why it's good to move these nominations now....the Dems are concerned most about the Supremes..the 2 or 3 nominees Bush may send up...if they jump on these 30 now, and defeat a few..well, it's harder to go after the SC nominees...

"...the Dems are concerned most about the Supremes..."

Whatever the fallout of the Pickering nomination, GW is sending the Dems a message that his Supreme Court nominee(s) will be the real deal...not moderate wimpouts.

I'd bet that the Dems are finally, REAL worried.
