The Republicans have threatened to filibuster President Obama's pick for the Supreme Court if that person is to left from Mainstream. This whole push from the right is going to come back to bight the party in 2010 and 2012 and beyond if the republicans try and fight a Hispanic pick. The State of Texas and Arizona and Utah's lation population is growing faster and faster and the Republicans could lose a whole lot of Congressional seats and senators and even sacrifice all three of those states electoral votes going Democratic if there is a fight. I do not see this as a well thought out plan on the PUBS part.
