And Chaos Will Reign

Justice O’Connor Retires

It would have been much better for Rehnquist to retire first or at the same time, as a conservative replacement for Rehnquist doesn’t change anything. O’Connor is the 5th vote for legal abortion, which means the hearings will be all about one issue, and one issue alone. Abortion. The Democrats will not compromise or yield on that issue which means filibusters and character assasination. It means no replacement will be forthcoming anytime soon.

If you thought the Bork treatment is bad… you ain’t seen nothing yet. This will be the ugliest fight to take place in the Senate for a long long time.

    2. Single Issue Politics - Time For The Nuclear Option Gets Closer!

      Are the Democrats so wedded to that (be against anything Bush is for) ideology that they will filibuster? That they will “Bork” anyone but a confirmed pro-abortion liberal/moderate? That they will force the nuclear option?
