and what a second Bush term would mean for that body?

4. Yes
When he addressed the black caucus, he mentioned that.

I've also seen in print his opposition to Scalia and what could happen to the SC over the next 4 years.

6. here's a snippet
http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=35981

--------------
Fifty years after the Brown decision, we are also reminded that now, more than ever, we need a Supreme Court that will protect our hard won victories.

It was just four short years ago that the Court -- by one vote -- decided the outcome of the race for president. It was less than a year ago that the Court -- by one vote -- decided the fate of affirmative action. One vote can make the difference for millions of Americans, and over the next four years the President of the United States will appoint as many as four Supreme Court justices.

George W. Bush has said that Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas are the kind of judges he will put on the Supreme Court. Make no mistake -- justices like them are out of the mainstream, and we don't need more of them on the Court. But that's W. Wrong choices, wrong direction, wrong leadership for America.

We have fought too hard and come too far to let George W. Bush roll back generations of progress. John Edwards and I know that the whole future of civil rights and affirmative action may hinge on a single Supreme Court vote.
