So Jerry Springer and Al Franken don't think Bush is going to try to appoint an extremist judge to the supreme court (i.e. an anti-Roe judge). Jerry thinks it would be the "end of the Republican Party," and Al thinks it would create too much controversy and it would be a stupid decision politically. Jerry admits he may be a bit too optimistic, but really feels that the counter-revolution this would spark would be too much for the Republicorns. I tend to think that Bush isn't afraid of controversy, and likes to be seen as making the tough, unpopular, but "right" decisions. I also keep seeing in print that the current court is 6-3 for Roe, when all the pro-choice fundraising propaganda - whoops I mean literature - I get consistently says 5-4. So they would actually need Rhenquist and one other pro-Roe judge in addition to O'Connor to resign before it could be overturned.
Oh and can I just say I really like Jerry Springer's show on Air America? Plus he totally pokes fun at himself for his TV show.
So what have the other pundits and wonks been saying? Anyone watching Fox to see what their take is?

The right wing bozos have been saying that Bush isn't going to nominate Alberto...that Bush is going to do the right thing and get a true conservative in there.
I too dig on Springer! He is super.
...well, just keep hoping for rove to crash n' burn in the plame scandal...could things be about to turn around?
