And since there are no retirements announced, we are stuck with the same court for next year and the year after. Unless a health problem or death, we won't see a new appointment until 2005.

It would take death not a health problem. A health problem would "insure" a Justice holding a position on the bench to death as the health insurance benefit(s) is better while remaining on the bench then just going home. Federal judges almost never fully retire; they take a diminished case load or substitute as a visiting judge.
