you may be right about number 1, and with radio and the internet, you have a very strong case, but if my 1 is wrong, wouldn't it be better for the future of the Courts if this high stakes battle were played out right before the election so it was fresh on the voter's minds?

Similar to a bill which would push income tax day to right before the elections...

You are assuming the GOP can control what the media "spotlight" topic will be....I don't think they can as the media will find/manufacture/hype another issue to "spotlight", and it will surely be one that favors the Dems.

If Bush loses, the American judicial landscape will appear no different than it was when he arrived..
