all brakes are off for cowboy george.
he has nothing to lose in a second term--no re-election to worry about, lots of far right political groups critical to his victory that are expecting to get paid for their support. they are after roe v. wade. they are interested in creating a legal ghetto for gay people. they like war. they see bush as an instrument for inflicting a hegemony of far right christian "values" on the rest of us.
so i suspect it will only be during this term that we will be treated to the spectacle of just how far to the right bush really is.
as for the real theater--it would be almost funny to watch this theory come to fruition. scalia would surprise me less. thomas seems little more than conservative revenge fantasy--they are still steamed about the treatment of robert bork and view thomas as a near-martyr as well--this seems little more than a fantasy of delivering a fuck you to the imagined persecutors.
i too believe anita hill.
