Chief Justice William Rehnquist just died!

[Cosmo]

Drudge has it up.

Very sad. It's going to be a tough couple of months in Washington to say the least.

[ARCADIA]

Bush is a man destine to be remembered (what's next China invades Taiwan?)

I am sorry to see Justice Renquist go. He was a great jurist, we will really miss him.

[socal_parrot]

Prayers for his family.

If the Dems wanted a "moderate" to replace O'Connor, does this mean Bush has clearance from them to nominate a conservative?

[the Deejay]

Saw it on CNN Breaking News.

Knocked LKL and the Bush Bashing Session
off the air.

[kcvl]

Way too many people watching CNN. There were 5 identical postings - all pulled but yours (I think)

My husband was channel surfing in the other room. I was watching HGTV & Food Network. lol!

Almighty God,
we remember before you today your faithful servant William;
and we pray that,
having opened to him the gates of larger life, you will receive him more and more into your faithful service, that, with all who have faithfully served you in the past,
he may share in the eternal victory of Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen

[AliVeritas]

May God have mercy on his soul.

We need to pray people.

On FNC now1

[Miztiki]

He's finally received relief from his physical suffering. May he rest in peace. He will be missed by many.

[Larry Lucido]

Poor Cindy. She'll never get back on the news now.

[SevenofNine]

OKAY which one of the Freepers have him in dead pool

Admit it

[Right_in_Virginia]

Wow. RIP, Mr. Chief Justice.

[Frank_2001]

Agreed!

[Shqipo]

May he rest in peace. This will be too much for the Dems. They will throw everything imaginable to stop a 2nd SC Judge.
Prediction: Dems to decide to Filibuster Roberts, and desperately hope they can Impeach or damage Bush w/ wild Katrina accusations.

[CAWats]

Now all we need is a large earthquake in California or Seattle...



The Castro's about due...

[Mo1]

I just heard on FNC

[the invisib1e hand]

God rest his soul. And so it begins...

Is that like, "the judge is dead, long live the judge."

[TexasGreg]

I think Shummer's head is going to EXPLODE.

[deport]

This is going to get interesting! Schumer may have a heart attack!

---

Not long till the Congress goes out for the year..... Interesting next two months to try and get a nominee up and approved. May see a recess if they don't get it done quickly.

[oceanview]

I don't see why this would trigger a fillibuster of Roberts. what the Dems will do is try and delay Roberts, and will ask for the 2nd Justice to be named before the vote on Roberts, so they can get a "package deal". Bush must resist that.

Its going to be a wild political season now for sure. Wild.

Politics aside, prayers for Rehnquist - he fought so long, and I am sure he was fighting to stay alive until Roberts was confirmed.
