Interest Group Politics

I'm hearing that Rehnquist's retirement is imminent, perhaps even moments away. And I'm also hearing the Religious Right wants two far, far right nominees -- no Gonzales. So I guess we'll have to see where Bush goes and see whether he rewards his friend, or decides to dance with who brung him.

BTW, with all the talk for years about the Democrats being beholden to narrow interest groups like the teacher's union, etc., I think this episode, along with Terri Schiavo, shows that Republicans today are much more beholden to a narrow, extreme interest group than the Democratic party ever was.
