NRO - Corner ^

TWO? REALLY? [K. J. Lopez] All I'll say is I've talked to more people this morning who are prepping for the possibility than I thought would ever be taking it seriously. Posted at 09:00 AM

FOR PETE'S SAKE [K. J. Lopez] In the last half hour the new rumor that is keeping political geeks awake: Rehnquist and Stevens resign tomorrow. (Up until a little ago, the buzz was Renquist, as I noted in Bench Memos.) Posted at 10KùOÅ5 PM (yesterday)

I am just not buying these "en masse" resignation stories.

If this happens it is just more evidence that Bush bombed London to distract from the Supreme Court nomination process.


The above is the conspiracy of the day at DU

If true, this could get really wild. The dems will go completely ballistic because Bush will be able to shape the court for generations. Sounds good to me.

FNC showed Rhenquist leaving his home and treated it as breaking news.

Nahhh. The reason Bush bombed London was to get Aruba off the news cycle.

If true, I won't be shedding any tears. All but one should resign, IMO.

If there's ANY truth to this... start lining up the meat-wagons on Capitol Hill and keep the engines running. Better yet... set up a triage-unit on the floor of the Senate... fat Teddy's heart is 'gonna blow!

A reliable Hill source tells me: "I was just told that Stevens had two clerk interviews this past Tuesday for the 2006 Term." Doesn't sound like someone who is resigning.

Update: Though Bill Kristol just repeated the two-more rumor on Fox (9:20).

The New London decision showed that Stevens needed to retire immediately.

How about O'Connor, Rehnquist, Stevens and Ginsberg...... Four ought to really make the dems go ballistic. What a great opportunity to put things right (pun intended).

"Bill Kristol just repeated the two-more rumor"

There's an arrogant, unreliable source if I ever heard one.

FDR packed the court his way.

Maybe Ginsberg? She's got some health issues.

You mean besides the "mental" health issues?
