"a less credible but still noteworthy post last week at the liberal Democratic Underground"
I would sooner use stock tips mumbled by a homeless person on the subway between sips of a Sterno Cocktain than rely on a post on that moonbat site.
It isn't the DU rumor that has the rumors flying, my friend. There are extremely credible sources in DC who have information that is sending a cold chill down our spines.
We have come so far and accomplished much in the past few years in the judicial nominations arena. To abandon that now, perhaps on the eve of the SCOTUS nomination that could tip the balance on the Court would be mind-boggling.
Yeah, I saw that post. I wouldn't trust it. Nor do I trust these rumors. As much as I like the idea of Stevens stepping down, I don't see it happening. I'd be willing to bet he stays until he dies and he hasn't looked particularly ill to me.
