I mentioned to my husband last night the possibility that, with the help of Sandra Day O'Connor, there could be some good that comes out of the SCs property rights ruling last month. Steve M captured my meaning in his post. If the people don't agree with SC decisions they have the ability to over rule those decisions. The process can be lengthy and arduous, but it is called Democracy and embodies everything Americans hold dear.

But there are good losses too, and this is the concept that many refuse to accept. You can lose in a way that makes people sympathize with the principle you fought for. You can lose in a way that sets the stage to make a compelling case later. If you send a clear message to the American people that "we oppose Roberts because X will happen if he is confirmed," and then X does happen, now you have your campaign issue for 2008, 2012, and beyond. "Elect Democrats so we can roll back X and make sure it never happens again."
