"Rehnquist wants to retire, let's give him President Bush and a conservative Senate to confirm his replacement. O'Connor wants to retire. Stevens needs to retire soon. Any other justice may want or need to retire. 4 more years is a long time."

"Wants and needs" to retire don't mean a thing if they don't truely intend to do it while Bush is in the WH. How about writing them to get the h*ll out?

"Rehnquist till 84? With his bad back"

Why not, he does have the best insurance coverage.

Of course, this is all mute seeing as the GOP will not stand up to the Dems. That stupid debate that Frist put together did not do a thing to keep the Dems from filibustering. Did he really think that things would change? Give me Frist's job and I will raise some serious h*ll in Congress, I will get everybody's attention and put some backbone back in the GOP.

Go for it. If someone was doing it now everyone who wants to retire from the SC can do it and no one will whine about not getting the kind of judges they want.
