Thanks for the response. Your position is well thought out and gives me a perspective different than my own. I wish there was more of this type of dialog back and forth on this thread.

It sounds like you know more about the Supreme Court than I do, but I think they will want to set a precedent that you really can't change the rules in a National election after it starts. It sets off a chain of events that is chaotic and unpredictable. When the conservative guys (and O'Conner) talked about situations they felt were black and white it was more convincing than the liberal arguments (imo).

Regardless of who's right or wrong here, don't you think that both sides would have to be presented through their questioning? Even if it was 9-0 going into it, they would have to probe all possiblities. Why not have the justices that traditionally lean one way or another pose the questions that reflect their views?
