But you are ignoring our entire system of government and how it is structured.

First, you are talking about state judges that are probably elected locally.

Second, the framers of the constitution were very specific in how they seperated the branches.

So even if the Indiana state government was overwhelmingly Republican, it would have no real bearing on what judges (the judicial) was doing. They could attempt to pass a law which the judges would be required to follow, but then such a law itself would be open to judicial review.

Third, Bush is NOT the head of the GOP, the GOP National Party Chairman is the head of the GOP.

Forth, there is a real separation between state level politics and national level politics.

So I hope you can at least see why some people feel you are unfairly bashing Bush in your post.
