Hey, you guys sound like you're up on the SC. How does it stand now? I vaguely remember it being typically splti 5-4, slightly tilted in favor of the conservatives.
With Rehnquist gone, it really doesn;t change the equation does it? I think Seaver has a good point: Bush gets to appoint a younger, conservative (we're assuming) who will sit for a while.
Who decide who gets the top slot? Can Bush just say, "Scalia, you're it", or does Congress have to agree, or is it a vote amongst the justices? If Scalia needs congressional approval, I would expect a nasty fight form the Dems.
I haven't heard of Janice ROgers Brown, but it sounds like a shrewd appointment.
Excellent strategy in my opinion. Yeah, I can see Jesse Jackson being pissed off at that too....
Maybe a conservative Latino appointment? I dunno, someone from either Florida or California or the Southwest maybe?
