The Real Battle is About to Begin.

Now that Supreme Court Justice O'Connor has just announced her retirement, there is one seat available for new nominations by the president and with another Chief Justice William Rehnquist crippled with health problems who might soon have to retire too, there will probably be two very soon. The controversy in the Senate over judicial nominees was nothing.
This one is going to be a bloody war and the Democrats have a lot to lose if they don't fight hard with all the tools available to them. Let's hope that they will be as tough as the conservatives can be. It is time to get on the offensive and stop chickening out in the face of the voiciferous and powerful right.
