The Rumor About John Paul Stevens
by Sean Rushton
Posted Nov 04, 2006
For weeks, commentators have speculated that significant numbers of conservatives, alienated by over-spending, the Iraq War, and other perceived GOP disappointments, will stay home on Election Day, giving one or both Houses of Congress to Democrats. But for those who care about reforming the Supreme Court, sitting this one out may soon look like a mistake of historic proportions.
For the past several weeks, there has been a rumor circulating among high-level officials in Washington, D.C., that a member of the U.S. Supreme Court has received grave medical news and will announce his or her retirement by years end. While such rumors are not unusual in the nations capital, this one comes from credible sources. Additionally, a less credible but still noteworthy post last week at the liberal Democratic Underground blog says, Send your good vibes to Justice Stevens. I just got off the phone with a friend of his family and right now he is very ill and at 86 years old that is not good.
Normally, this news might be too ghoulish to repeat publicly. Nevertheless, with the election just days away, it is news that should be considered. It points out what could be a once-in-a-lifetime chance for the 20-year movement to recast the court with a constitutionalist majority. It would be a cruel twist indeed for conservatives to teach Republicans a lesson next Tuesday, only to be taught a lesson themselves within months when new Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D.-Vt.) leads a Democratic majority against the most important Supreme Court nominee in decades. Conservatives whose mantra is no more Souters should bear in mind Robert Borks fate after the Senate changed from Republican to Democratic hands in 1986.

Dry and brown.
The man has so much blood on his hands, both directly and through his enabling of his psychotic sons and others he let run rampant.
It was Miami!
Woo!
woohoo!
She better not sneeze!
"God vs. Science" and "The Politics of Jesus" sound like the last of this season's late hits from the partisan media shills.
Hey RD, been to any restaurants lately to round up conservatives for FR.
That was a fun evening. Did you ever hear from any of the folks you were educating.
Read up, Chelsea did not fall from the tree.
Let it go.
If your father did obscene things to a fat chick with a cigar, would you throw him under the bus?
No, neither would I.
I love Drudge's laugh track.
Holy hell, Al, push yourself away from the table!
Maybe so. But the "Military Times" has, in my experience, always been pro-military.
LOL!
That just takes more jet fuel to get him aloft.
You're making the "Global Warming EVEN WORSE, AL!!
I agree.
I realised I might run into trouble tonight as a death penalty opponent.
I refer you to the ever-dapper Mr. Snow:
