NY Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer says that the Senate should not confirm any new Bush nominees to the Supreme Court. He says the high court is "dangerously out of balance".
Actually, I'd say it looks like the Supreme Court teeters on the edge of a 5-4 split, tilting slightly conservative since Roberts and Alito replaced Rhenquist and O'Connor. I guess the old 5-4 split, which favored liberal justices, was "just right". At least Sen. Schumer appears to think so.
Frankly, the best thing that could happen to the GOP politically, would be a battle over a Supreme Court pick. The Supreme Court is just about the only thing President Bush got right. A battle with Schumer over a nominee would energize the Republican/Conservative base like nothing else could.
