"replacing Rehnquist with a solid middle aged conservative might well be a 30 year hold until say 2035!"
Middle-aged? Hell... I say we get a 20 year old on there! The dems can replace him in 2080... bwahahhahaa!
If I were Rehnquist I wouldn't resign till I was dead 20 minutes.
I'd be on extreme life support still voting against the socialist agenda !
The dems can replace him in 2080... bwahahhahaa!

If they still exist then. Heck replacing Rehnquist now may mean no Dim ever gets a shot to fill that seat.
Which raises the question, what will the follow on party to the Dims be names? Social Dim?
