You know, it's not like padding the Supreme Court is a new thing. Hell, "The Smithsonian" had a great article a few months ago on how FDR was thisclose to having Congress pass legislation that would allow him to basically appoint a number of new Justices that would allow him to circumvent Supreme Court blockages of the New Deal legislations.
I would much rather sit back and watch this woman get torn apart or credibly defend herself once the hearings begin. The mechanics of nomination are what they always have been, just as the motives are. I don't think that she can withstand the scrutiny of the hearings, and so Bush will have to find someone else to nominate.
