Wow, Bush is going to appoint at least 2 justices. Boy, we are in trouble.
Where did you read this?
I really like her!
ETA: I found an article.
OH NO! This is what I feared the most - that dim bulb is going to start appointing "his kinda people" to the court! RUN RUN RUN to Canada!
ABC just broke into regular programming.
It's on the AP as well...

Unbelievable! Why would she step down now - just because her mentor is going? Wouldn't she want to carry on in his footsteps?
Shock AND I am incredibly sad right now.
wow. just wow. but she's not even 95, yet!!
What's next, Justice John Bolton?
:::shudders:::
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.
be afraid. be very afraid.

Elphaba - how very appropriate that you posted that statement with THAT av! We might be wishing for the Martians to come soon!

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....
