But, you are right in that it all comes down to Bush.

Exactly. He's the one with the appointment power. He's the one appointing the judges. He's the one the Democrats are targeting with their demands to be consulted, to provide lists prior to appointing, etc.

It will be a case of "Use it or lose it."

I refer you back to the previously posted Estrada radio address. That address I think was a turning point in this battle. Everything going on now, is window dressing. Bush is likely asking the Dems how they like there Estrada served, over a nuclear filibuster say in October 2004, or quietly sandwiched around obscure legislation, far from the election.
