I took Saletan's point to be that we won't see a court willing to overturn Roe. He's saying that Bush should appoint someone now that will appear anti-Roe, and this will satisfy the pro-lifers, but then later he can appoint someone who won't vote to overturn Roe. Doing so, Bush will be able to maintain a pro-Roe majority.
Why would Bush want to do that? Because as Roe goes, so goes the Republican coalition.
The point is that the wingers won't be demoralized by a justice who later upholds Roe; they will be energized.
