Don't forget about the possibility of Bush having the power to appoint two Supreme Court justices over the course of the next 4 years. Renquist is most certainly out and control of the Supreme Court would seriously affect what ammendments are passed. I've even heard on NPR that Bush is specifically looking at younger candidates for the position i.e. trying to wring the most out of the lifetime appointment aspect. The Judicial and Executive branches showdown would be a losing proposition for the American public if they wound up in bed together.
