Four of the six who ruled against the Texas law were appointed by Republicans.

I know it's good politics to blame the other side for all that ails you, but at some point, if you really take these issues seriously, you're going to have to consider getting your own house in order.

Meanwhile, according to Robert Novak, Renquist is going to resign (one of the 3 who voted in favor of the Texas law) and Bush is going to appoint O'Connor Chief Justice. Perhaps he'll be rewarding her for advancing homosexual rights the way he rewarded Christine Todd Whitman's veto of a partial-birth abortion ban in New Jersey by appointing her to his cabinet.

And Novak claims Albert Gonzalez will be Bush's candidate to fill the court vacancy. He's considered a liberal Republican but he'd be the first Hispanic member of the court.

Obviously it remains to be seen if these things will happen. But if Novak is right Bush will be making the court more liberal, not less.
