Granted, Ginsburg or Stevens may decide to retire next year. However, it is well-known O'Connor delayed her retirement until after '04 in part because of the filibuster mess in the Senate. It is not out of the realm of possiblity that one or both Justices would adopt a similar stance, especially Ginsburg, given that she was an ACLU lawyer prior to being nominated.
But no matter when one or both leave or for whatever reason, it cannot come too soon.
