Building a Big Tent Around Abortion
(2 of 2)
How would Bush play such an opportunity? A G.O.P. dream scenario runs like this: Bush (obviously) avoids choosing a trustee of Planned Parenthood, but he does select a new Justice whose position is ambiguous enough to generate a mini-outcry from the pro-lifers. Then the former wimp sticks by his man (or woman), stands up to the antiabortion lobby and creates a political triumph that dwarfs even Panama.
George Bush is the Mr. Lucky of American politics. He will probably get a court vacancy, play it beautifully and finally put the "abortion thing" behind him. If he manages that, the Democrats will be reduced to praying for a Depression.
