  We outline the steps in a derivation of the statement that the SU(2) gauge
theory is in a confining phase for all values of the coupling, $0 < \beta
<\infty$, defined at lattice spacing a. The approach employed is to obtain both
upper and lower bounds for the partition function and the `twisted' partition
function in terms of approximate decimation transformations. The behavior of
the exact quantities is thus constrained by that of the easily computable
bounding decimations.
