Only nine votes are going to matter
How will the Supreme Court vote in this election?

1. That presumes that there will be an issue for the SCOTUS
You gotta have something substantial to get a hearing there, even with Scalia still drawing breath.

2. Rehnquist probably won't be up to it this time
What with the chemo and all.

3. I think Bush loses if it goes to the Supreme Court.
At least one of them will swing positions, if not more. In fact, I would be surprised if Bush got more than 3 of them. Perhaps even only 2 (Scalia and Thomas are guaranteed, of course). I don't think they're going to repeat their mistake, and I also think that several of the more conservative members have recognized that Bush isn't a Conservative, but actually is Bat Shit Insane.
