A question somewhat off topic. If one of the old, frail, liberal judges was to expire before the election, would Bush be able to get a replacement confirmed?
And what would be the consequences of that answer?

I don’t think one could be confirmed unless he completely caved to the RATS wishes, which I doubt.

I think the only avenue Bush would have would be to appoint a current Senator such as Orin Hatch to the Supreme Court. Even the most liberal of Senators would have a hard time voting against one of their own colleagues unless something really came out bad about him/her. Yes, they would get the rough treatment to satisfy the left wing, but someone like Hatch would certainly get through.
