Unless a health problem or death, we won't see a new appointment until 2005.

Correct. Until after the next election. GW will win and the fun begins. Many Justices are getting too decrepit to serve such as Ginsgrub and (unfortunately) Rhenquist

I watch "Ginsgrub" not long ago on some CSpan program and my guess would be, that if anybody was to resign before 2005, it would be her.

She did not look healthy to me at all.

She had some health problems a couple years ago, but I don't remember what they were.
