A deadlock would be preferable to the roll of the dice

Nearly four months after O'Connor, 75, announced that she was stepping down to care for her ill husband, it's unclear when she will actually retire.

There is a petition started today for her to withdraw her resignation. If her husband were to die quickly is this possible.

go ahead and *LEAVE*!!! Hypocrite baby slaughtering
beast.

Miers' withdrawal means O'Connor will hear those cases - and could control the outcome. O'Connor said Thursday of her stay on the high court, "It sounds like it may go on a little longer."

I'll take a few months over decades when her clone would have been up there.

Am I the only one picking up on this being written by the AP as a sour grapes inspiring story for conservatives that got Miers withdrawn? I heard on Rush Harry Reid pleading in the most respectful tones to Bush to put up another one like Miers. I think today's events have sent fears down the spine of the Dems, their all important "groups" and the media that supports them. They realize this powerplay could be the awakening of a giant, and the beginning of the end of 50 years of and overstepping Judicial branch-and with it, liberalism as a serious movement in the United States.
