I wouldn't say that he's got it "locked up". Hill democrats are even more fired up to defend the Supreme Court than ever. Asscroft is too politically tainted by the Patriot Act and all the other crazy stuff to even get near the Court.
For example, the Oregon Right to Die Act is being submitted to the Court for review. How on Earth could someone like Asscroft even be considered a viable nominee to the Court considering his past partisanship? Idealogues have made it through the door, though not always onto the court- but not partisans.
If I didn't know you Dissention, I'd think you've finally broken down and started hitting the bong yourself....
