Hope Dubya don't mess up these opportunities a la Daddy's Souter fiasco.

Is there a time frame for who leaves, when?

Is Stevens a RAT appointee?

Good RIDDENCE to the RINO and the bow-tie cutting off the air to his brain. He was one of the two justices who ruled for GORE during the "partisan" recount case. The slimy so-called "centrist" actually votes for the 'RATs the majority of the time and was Jerry "football" Ford's 3rd choice for the job. He should have keep searching for a fourth choice.

Do S.C. justices still represent federal "circuits" like they did in the 19th century? If so, I think Stevens would be the justice for my circuit (great lakes region of the midwest). He was a Chicago corporate lawyer.

I humbly suggest this fellow from the Illinois Supreme Court as a replacement, who currently is the most conservative member of our 7-member court. Plus, ya gotta love the celebrity he brings with his former career with Da Bears:

JUSTICE
Robert R. "Bob" Thomas
Illinois Supreme Court
Second District
(R-DuPage County)

O'Connor and Stevens are both going.....wow. Where did you read this? Apparently the WH has some info. Anyway, if this is true, we have the opportunity to finally get a conservative majority once they leave.

I thought Ruth Ginsberg wants out - I read she has cancer and wants peace and quiet at home. O'Connor simply wants to retire and Rehnquist, a widower, wants to spend time with his grand kids. I hadn't read about Stevens.

Stevens is leaving? I can't believe it.
