This Is Why We Need a Democratic Majority

Chief Justice William Rehnquist has died. Bush now has his second opportunity to appoint a conservaive justice to the Supreme Court, and with a Republican majority in the Senate, he will have little trouble getting his nominees confirmed, despite strong opposition from the left. If another Justice dies or retires before we either retake the presidency of the Senate, we'll have some major problems. If we had a majority in the Senate right now, we would be able to force the appointment of a moderate, instead of an arch-conservative, to the court. We all need to hope/pray that none of the liberal justices dies or retires before Democrats control eithe the presidency or the Senate, and work as hard as we can in the next 14 months to elect a Democratic majority in the Senate.
