The Hill reports on a "sophisticated, multipronged plan" to support whomever George Bush [3] nominates to the Supreme Court [4], after the expected resignation of ailing Chief Justice William Rehnquist. The plan includes "pre-emptive" press releases, "to deflect liberal efforts to define the nominee," and public statements and floor speeches by Senate Republicans. Conservative groups are also involved; the Coalition for a Fair Judiciary "would handle grassroots work," and the Federalist Society [5] "would provide substantive arguments for use in Senate and media debates." The "business community" is expected "to fund the communications campaign." On the other side, "People for the American Way [6] and the Alliance for Justice are preparing a multimillion-dollar effort to publicize the [nominee's] record."
