The legality of the death penalty depends on this election.
Prayers for the Chief Justice.

Stages of thyroid cancer
Once thyroid cancer is found (diagnosed), more tests will be done to find out if cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body. This is called staging. A doctor needs to know the stage of the disease to plan treatment.
Papillary and follicular thyroid cancer
The following stages are used for papillary and follicular thyroid cancer:
Stage I
* In patients younger than 45 years, cancer may have spread within the neck or upper chest and/or to nearby lymph nodes but not to other parts of the body.
* In patients aged 45 years and older, the tumor is 2 centimeters (about ¾ inch) or smaller and in the thyroid only.
Stage II
* In patients younger than 45 years, the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body, such as the lung or bone, and may have spread to nearby lymph nodes.
* In patients aged 45 years and older, the tumor is larger than 2 centimeters but not larger than 4 centimeters (between ¾ and 1½ inches) in the thyroid only.
Stage III
The cancer is found in patients aged 45 years or older. The tumor either:
* is larger than 4 centimeters; or
* may be any size and has spread just outside the thyroid and/or to lymph nodes in the neck.
Stage IVA
The cancer is found in patients aged 45 years or older. The tumor may be any size and has spread within the neck and/or to lymph nodes in the neck or upper chest.
Stage IVB
The cancer is found in patients aged 45 years or older. The tumor may be any size and has spread to neck tissues near the backbone or around blood vessels in the neck or upper chest. Cancer may have spread to lymph nodes.
Stage IVC
The cancer has spread to other parts of the body, such as the lung or bone, and may have spread to nearby lymph nodes.

Anaplastic thyroid cancer
Anaplastic thyroid cancer is considered to be stage IV thyroid cancer. It grows quickly and has usually spread within the neck when it is found. Anaplastic thyroid cancer develops most often in older people.
If this election ends up in the courts again this will be very bad.
So not only will there be an open seat on the court, but the Chief Justice seat. Any ideas who the new Chief Justice will be?
If you ask me it should be my paisan, Nino Scalia! ;-)
In the event that he should pass away, how long would the appointment process for a new Supreme Court justice take?
This makes the President's re-election even MORE important!!
He will be dead by Inauguration, and replacing him will be the #1 issue of the next president's first 100 days.
Dear God, may George Bush win!
Bush wins today, Rehnquist retires in a few weeks.
Prayers for the Chief Justice, I hope we get a miracle here. This shows how important this election is.
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE? EXPERTS?
...make that election-day FEAR-mongerers
I had the privilege of aruing a moot court case before Rehnquist in the finals of my law school competition. He's a great man, a superb jurist, and I pray for his recovery.
isn't that exciting? (/s)
no sooner than we get thru' with this blood bath, then we'll have another.
can't wait.
Rehnquist is the highest-placed Lutheran in the US.
&*$&$
We have GOT TO WIN THIS ELECTION!
Pray for Rehnquist folks. Heaven only knows how long he has been aware of his diagnosis andd has chosen too tough it out in order to protect and defend the Union.
