Say It Isn't So! Bush About to Fold Like Wet Cardboard on Supreme Court?

For those who (like me) fantasize about such forbidden thoughts as a Supreme Court dominated by strict constructionists, the death of William Rehnquist only stimulated more of such titillating cogitation.

However, this article by William Kristol very rudely shook me out of such lurid judicial reveries of a Miguel Estrada or a Michael Luttig's being Bush's next SCOTUS pick. Sounds grim.

However, the one who comes out the worst in this article is NOT Bush or Rove -- but my Senator, John Cornyn, whom I have always rather suspected of being somewhat of a lickspittle Bushbot asshat. (This article simply strengthens that impression .)

Memo to Senator Cornyn: Try growing a spine and thinking past Bush's second term! (Or, is Cornyn angling for a Supreme Court appointment for, .... well, for John Cornyn, perhaps? -- I am not the first to bring his name up in such a connection.)
