So, is Bush tipping his hand or bluffing?

Here is a post I made in another thread:

The Judicial Oligarchy is highly motivated and cannot afford to lose this power struggle by acceding to Congress.
One of the Bushes is certainly going to have to act by force.
Those are lose-LOSE scenarios for the Judicial Oligarchy.
The Judicial Oligarchy can give in and lose some of their absolute power.
Or the Bushes can act at the last minute and crush judicial tyrrany on a range of things including WoT.
Having one Bush governor and one President is a strong pair.
Do the judges have the will to hold out? I say yes. Too much in the pot.
Do the Bushes have the will to act?
Can't tell. But I think the Judicial Oligarchy doesn't think so.
But if they're wrong they lose all, abortion, WoT rulings etc. because this Congress won't successfully impeach. There aren't enough RINOs in the Senate.
That is Bush's ace in the hole.
Is anyone tipping their hand?
Or Terri could die and it will all be moot.

Any poker players out there?

NO EN BANC REHEARING AND NO MORE WASTED TIME!
The 11th Circuit has punted but it looks like they may have gotten the message - delay means Executive intervention so they've shot it to the Supremes. That's my read.

It would be very difficult for Bush to step in and use an Executive Order to save Terri without establishing a very dangerous precedent.

What happens when President Hillary (or somesuch) decides to use an Executive Order to indefinately postpone lawful executions?
