Well shit yes. The *worst* that can happen now is one flavor of gridlock vs. another! There's no way with a 50/50 Congress that Bush will get anything really facsist through, and that includes judges. Christ, the Repugs have managed to hold off something like 2/3 of the judges that Clinton has tried to appoint, I see no reason why this can't go on for 4 more years during a Shrubya presidency.
