Well, Justice Rehnquist WAS almost carried out. Ginsburg made noises about her health BEFORE the elections, so it wouldn't come as a total shock to me, although I agree she will try to hang on until another Dem presidency.
I dunno. I just have a feeling that there is some other change afoot at SCOTUS. Maybe not RBG, but some change. If Stevens steps down or vacates a seat, it would still be a great opportunity for President Bush to appoint JRB, AND would break the "quota" idea as well.
That's usually the way they go out lately. Very few resignations or retirements.

Feelings are usually not a good basis to base an opinion. If anyone goes during the next three years, it will be Stevens, but he looks pretty spry for a guy in his mid-80s, 85 to be exact.
I just paid a visit to DU....I see heads exploding over there..........wooohooooo
(What a mess)
