If you're saying that Americans understand and care that Congress is about to rip out jurisdiction of most federal courts based on the chance that they might come to a decision that they might dislike, instead of on substantive expertise, then I don't. I think the GOP Congressional caucus is calculating that the American public doesn't understand what it means, or what its impacts are.

Someone somewhere today notably pointed out (in the context of a Bush/Kerry distinction being meaningless on a national policy level) - with the way the cloture rules are being applied these days requiring a 60 vote supermajority for anything to come up for a vote, it is impossible to think that anything this controversial will ever gain significant traction in the Senate.
So let Delay squeak.
