In 2000, I waited out the presidential election decision as did everyone. Once the decision was made, my thought was "no matter" as long as there isn't a change in the balance in the Supreme Court. Had 911 not occurred, Bush II would not have been reelected in 2004. In his place would have been a moderate Republican, or possibly a moderate Democrat.
The Neocons now have two replacement opportunities to the Supreme Court. It is my sincere hope that the *real* Republicans step forward and that the Democrats are capable of collectively producing a spine that supports them and/or challenges the neocons.
