The stakes, however, are expected to escalate because up to three of the nine Supreme Court justices are expected to be replaced during Mr Bush's second four-year term.

This is news to me. More likely, it's a gross exaggeration by the author.
Rehnquist is likely to be replaced and maybe O'Conner. So at best, we can replace a conservative and a moderate with two conservatives. But that still leaves 4 unabashed scumbags plus one wild card (Anthony Kennedy).

A meaningful return to respect for the Constitution and the rule of law will only begin when a scumbag gets replaced by a conservative. And I have a funny feeling that the scumbags will not leave the Court until there's a scumbag President to appoint their replacements.

The third would be Ginsberg, who, IIRC has health problems.

They might try, but ill health or a natural death can force the issue.

I pray that the wrath of God Himself be executed upon the workers of iniquity in high places, these rulers who rule with deceitful hearts, these who revel in evil devices, in Jesus' Name--may their evil reigns end prematurely by impeachment by the hand of the sovereign PEOPLE, One Nation, Under God!!!

Agree to a point, but health and death are not in their control. Amen.
