President Bush is a top notch administrator, and by the speed with which this decision was made, I'd say it was all done well beforehand..........with Rehnquist's approval.

I totally agree with you and was delighted with the announcement. I LOL at Senator Dodd yesterday saying that we shouldn't do anything this coming court session and leave O'Connor in place, Stevens would become Chief because of seniority. Wouldn't that be wonderful

The President is ahead of them on every turn.Now possible one battle for a real conserative to replace O'Connor. After all the carping about another women, Owen or Brown would be good choices.

And Democrats call President Bush out of touch. Did Sen Dodd really think the President would allow Stevens to be in charge??? If so he's out of touch.

Yes, indeed! A VERY conservative, Constitution-honoring woman would be a great choice.
