A few liberal retirements. Rehnquist will merely be a hold. He has been fairly conservative.

True but replacing Rehnquist with a solid middle aged conservative might well be a 30 year hold until say 2035! A hold is a pretty big deal on the Supreme Court. Certainly we need a few Souters to resign too.

Middle-aged? Hell... I say we get a 20 year old on there! The dems can replace him in 2080... bwahahhahaa!
