...two, there has clearly been a bias on the side of what the Constitution ACTUALLY says as opposed to what certain members of the court would like it to say (Scalia and Thomas).
This development has nothing to do with "wishful thinking"...it has everything to do with upholding the law as it actually exists.
Additionally, it has been known for a while that at least two of the justices (Kennedy and O'Connor) that voted to place the FratBoy in the White House have had strong second thoughts. That by itself is enough to swing the court to a 6-3 vote on these issues.
By the way, O'Connor had wanted to retire once Junior was installed in the White House...why has she chosen to stay on the court? Is it because she is actually afraid that Junior would replace her with someone much farther to the right? Come to think of it, what have NONE of the justices retired when speculation in early 2001 indicated that at least two would be resigning rather quickly?
Rehnquist may actually surprise some people when these SC votes are finally taken. I believe that he sees his legacy as Chief Justice being badly eroded since the events of December 2000.
Scalia and Thomas will surprise no one...they are totally beholden to the NeoCons.
