Exactly the same logic used 4 years ago as to why RR should not have been
elected in the first place.  Now let me get this straight, we should NEVER
elect a conservative because we might not have a totally liberal court!
Right?  Isn't that what you folks are saying?  Well, well, well.  Sounds
like a good reason to vote for RR to me!

I wont defend such a bill.  Just let me ask this:  How do you negotiate 
a peace settlement with opponents who know you want out at any cost?
The answer (15 points and a gold star to any who guessed it) is called
unconditional surrender.  And yet, it is these same people who now tell
us that we let our allies in SVN down when we left.
