I think this is rediculous, and if this played out as you propose nothing good for the country will exist about it. The liberals have lost, and the democrats with them. They will continue to loose as every program they enacted has failed miserably, they have no solutions or even out side the box proposals for anything effective, and the exclusive solution to the problems they already created is maligning, demonizing and extorting from the successful and those who improve and expand upon the free market successes that makes this country great. They are the ones 'grasping for the power' they lost by being corrupt, manipulative, power hungry, above the law, and with utter disregard for the will of the people. Sure they have the college professor types and other marginally productive members of the electorate, plus a few well intentioned but misguided souls who believe that human nature is dynamic, but that's about it. Even the staid pandered to minorities which was considered an important portion of the base is dwindling.
Power, greed, and getting everything they want is a poor way to characterize the larger slice of the population.
First of all, we only have one retirement. Second of all Bush has nothing to loose what so ever by packing the SCOTUS as he sees fit, and fighting tooth and nail to do so since he isn't re-electable.
I hope he sticks to his guns, and 'packs' the court with 'right wing extremists' (codespeak by liberals and democrats for people who believe in limited government, enumerated federal powers, and majority rule with clear and concise restrictions on minority disenfrancishment).
Still, I can't wait to watch it play out.
