I tend to agree. It's sad. And the Roberts hearings are just about to start.

Not really, actually... he was pretty damn conservative to begin with, so whomever Bush replaces him with is just going to be more of the same. We're already fucked anyway, and the only way we could be more fucked is if one of the liberal justices up and dies or retires while Bush is still in office. If he elevates Scalia to Chief Justice, yeah, that would kind of suck, but it won't really change the current dynamic of the Supreme Court that much.
