Perhaps he would have retired during GWB.
Also, we have to hope that the man who took that seat, Anthony Kennedy, hangs on for four more years, Scalia too.
I think you are right, he has been in ill health for some time, it’s likely he would have had to retire awhile back.
it’s funny, xsboy told me last night that he saw that judge bork was trending on twitter yesterday. he noticed how all the libs were REVELING in his death, and asked why did they hate him so much, so we had to fill him.
and btw, xshub got an email from Cheaperthandirt last night saying they were resuming sales of guns. They claimed that because of the recent deluge of gun sales that they were not able to keep to their shipping within 24 hours pledge and so they stopped taking orders temporarily to reassess that pledge etc. Smells like BS to me, but they are back in biz.
