Bush gets to pick a replacement for the Supreme Court. The US is fucked -- more so. This link was found via Award Tour.
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
He may actually get two considering Rehnquist is about to drop dead. O’Connor (along with Souter) was the swing vote, even though both are Republican appointees. I have liked some of her decisions (abortion, boys scouts).
Also, the President can only nominate. The Congress appoints them. So the Democrats will have a big say. It will not be a walkover.
