Anything that stops Ashcroft is OK with me.

A caveat. Imagine ... the year, 2006. Mr. Dubya has been re-elected and, as anticipated, two or three members of the Court have announced their resignation.

Now Bush has the opportunity to name 2 -3 new appointees to the Court.

Given the new conservative/Christian complexion of the majority on the bench, how would that future Court have ruled on this issue?
