Prayers sent.
I pray for a speedy and complete recovery.
The word was that Rehnquist wanted to retire several years ago, but agreed to stay on until conditions were better for appointing a good replacement for him. He's 80 years old, and I imagine only his sense of duty to his country keeps him going.
God bless him.
I've been saying this for months. We need to sweep the elections and break the logjam in the Senate. It's the only way we can start appointing decent judges and take our country back from judicial tyranny.
I believe that after Bush wins, there will be a flood of SC retirements. Rhenquest might not even be the first.
I think the only justices that definitely aren't going anywhere are Thomas, Kennedy, Souter, and that last Clinton appointee.
Many prayers going up for the chief.
