The additional 4 Senate seats will (should) help immensely with judge appointments, including the Supreme Court. Now if we just had a few more Zell Miller types among the Democrats <g>. It should be quite instructive to see whether the new Senate minority leader is as obstructionist as Daschle was.

If Rehnquist retires, we can expect a conservative jurist. Ditto if any of the other Justices decide to call it quits. Extremely important. This is why I was so excited over the new 55/45 Senate mix. Bush will get conservative Judges now. It will be presented as a pro/anti abortion fight. But the most important is property rights and rule of law. The "Gay rights" movement took a hit I predicted from the start with the passing of the marriage amendments. I expect more to pass. Califonia kept the "three strikes" law in force. I wish we could do something constructive about drug law, but I don't see much hope for it.
