Chief Justice William Rehnquist Hospitalized

With the Chief Justice in the hospital, it looks like the Radical Right's push to stack the Court with extremists is in full swing. Stay tuned.

I am hoping for no confirmation in the interim, and a joint announcement from the steps of SCOTUS on October 2, by O'Connor and Rhenquist. It is my hope that they step down together. I also hope they go on to reccommend that for the remainder of the Bush administration the Supreme Court hear cases with a seven-member panel. Any justices appointed by this president face a future in which they may have to decide the fate of high-ranking members of the Bush administration, possibly reaching as high as the V.P. or POTUS himself. (Click my name to go to my blog and read "Dateline: Washington Oct. 2, 2005." I was musing about this a couple of hours before I heard this news.)
