President Bush should immediately nominate Ruth Bader Ginsberg to be the new Chief Justice. She has such tremendous knowledge of and respect for the Constitution. Wow! This is some good crack!

LOL!

Surely he'll nominate either Justice Thomas or Justice Scalia. I'd be delighted with either.

Get a grip Fox!!!..the US has had worse things happen. We survived a civil war and a revolution.
We can survive Katrina and the death of a conservative Supreme Judge.

I was wondering how they were going to blame President Bush for this, too.

Another top secret device in Dick Cheney's basement built by Halliburton that directs radiation waves via satellite...

A thing you don't know about him, as conservative as he was, his admin assistant was extremely liberal, but she is a great legal mind.

Rhenquist knew talent, he also knew that when it comes to the constitution, brains and talent replace ideology every time.

Rest in peace.

Ginsberg is a good person, and a very smart person. She won't be elevated, but she is one of the good people in government, whether you agree with her or not.

My father who was a clerk in the federal court said that because Rehnquist died his replacement will supercede that of O'COnnor who will retire when her replacement has been confirmed.

That's very interesting. Is it because SDO can be asked to continue serving until her replacement is named, but the court can't meet without all 9 justices?

(By the way, I like your home page. Your house is beautiful!)
