Wow, Bush is going to appoint at least 2 justices. Boy, we are in trouble.

Unbelievable! Why would she step down now - just because her mentor is going? Wouldn't she want to carry on in his footsteps?

Justice Rick Santorum.
I really am sick about this. Damn her.
This is the main reason I convinced people not to vote for Bush again. We are really screwed now.

You want frightening? I've already heard multiple commentators say that a good "Compromise" candidate would be Alberto Gonzales. A torture loving right-wing freak is considered a "Compromise" bewtween the right & the left. Oh, how we have fallen.

Alberto "torture is a OK" Gonzalez is a compromise? Who was Bush's initial candidate? David Duke?

"Well. it was going to be Edgar Ray Killen, but we all know what happened there... "

LOL, nothing like a manslaughter conviction to railroad his supreme court potential.

This is in no way a 'shock'. It's been rumored for some time.

I've packed my bags
I'm ready to go
I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again

Maybe when someone does the right thing and gets Bush out of office...Man are we screwed....
