Rumor Via NRO Corner - Two resignations today, Rehnquist & Stevens......

NRO - Corner ^

[LexHoskin]

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.

[G.Mason]

Hmmmmm ... Sounds as if someone told SCOTUS to get out of town before dark. ;)

[Phantom Lord]

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

[IrishGOP]

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.

[RockinRight]

Well...I won't shed a tear for Stevens...

[hobbes1]

Oh please...Stevens Retirement would eb the Brass ring to End all brass rings....

[Peach]

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

[george wythe]

I thought that Ginsberg was next. Oh boy, so many rumors.

[Cboldt]

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

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

[Rutles4Ever]

Holy cow. Rehnquist AND Stevens!???

[unixfox]

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

[johnny7]

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).

[denydenydeny]

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

[umgud]

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.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

FDR packed the court his way.

What's good for the goose...

[Hoodlum91]

Maybe Ginsberg? She's got some health issues.

[kjam22]

Maybe Ginsberg? She's got some health issues.

You mean besides the "mental" health issues?
