Bush has nothing to lose at this point. He can still sink further in the polls, but what does he care? History has already made W. irrevelent, as his demonic PR and media spin machines have failed to prop up that empty suit even one year into a second term. His Administration will be remembered for catastrophes, failed responses to them, and for disturbing moral lapses.
So now he's nominated Satan to the bench. We knew it was coming, and were surprised when it didn't happen last time. All is not lost, however--if all 44 Democrats can stick together with Jeffords, and if Specter, Snowe, Collins, Voinovich, DeWine, and Chafee join them, the "nuclear option" might yet be averted. How likely is this? We'll see The Rapture first, I warrant.
Woe is us, Brothers and Sisters! The Four Horsemen (Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, and Alito) shall ride roughshod over every progressive gain of the 20th century. Nothing can stop it now.
