I've been blindside by Sandra Day O'Connor's retirement. Yes, rumors have been flying, but I didn't think she would do it. She has her health, and is only 75. It appears she cuahgt the rest of Washington, D.C. with thier pants down too.

I will have to do some thinking on this. Here is the short list of successors in the rumor mill. I'm like another woman for some balance, but a Hispanic Justice would be great to. The country is shifting in it's demographic so some more color on the highest court would be a good thing. Anyone know of any black women canidates?

The Shit is really going to hit the fan when Chief Justice Rehnquist goes.

Looks liek President Bush will get quite a few pages in the history books due to luck of the draw. Do I hear Democrats nashing teeth?
