JOSH, the most Bartletest aide gets the idea to share Supreme Court seats with the Right?
Man, Sorkin's influence really IS dead.
This was perhaps the best episode of the season - showing just how weak willed the moderate position can indeed be when grossly populated.
The only true balance is strength from the left, AND from the right, and using DISCOURSE to create consensus (sure wish that were true in real life).
Gee. That Josh fellow is pretty smart, for a liberal, that is.

TORNADO OF POLITICAL FUROR AND INTRIGUE ENGULFS BARTLET WHEN HE MUST NOMINATE NEW SUPREME COURT JUDGE
When a Republican Supreme Court justice suddenly dies, the Bartlet administration scrambles to find a worthy replacement and the halls are are flooded with candidates -- but the President (Martin Sheen) senses that the process is a political minefield until Josh (Bradley Whitford) hits upon a wild plan that could open the door for an unthinkable liberal.
The game continues as potential judicial nominees are marched in and out, some serving only as press decoys, but everyone gets curious when the President meets with a bright but conservative judge (guest star William Fichtner, "The Perfect Storm").

This week on THE LEFT ... er ... WEST WING
Wednesday, March 24, 2004
A blog dedicated to commenting on the 60 minute political campaign commercial for the DNC known as NBCs West Wing.
"The tendency of liberals is to create bodies of men and women-of all classes-detached from tradition, alienated from religion, and susceptible to mass suggestion-mob rule. And a mob will be no less a mob if it is well fed, well clothed, well housed, and well disciplined."
--T. S. Eliot
