Yo homey. Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, for example, is 78, and missed December arguments at the court because of leg surgery. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, a moderate conservative, is 72. She and the chief justice were both appointed by Republican presidents.

It never ceases to amaze me how the left-wing bias of the press prevents them from just telling the truth. John Paul Stevens, the most liberal justice on the Supreme Court, is 82 years old. Ruth Bader Ginsberg, another very liberal justice, is 72 and a cancer survivor.

O'Connor, while the same age as Ginsberg, is in very good health and will probably serve for many more years. The most likely retirees in the immediate future are Stevens, Ginsberg and Rehnquist, in that order.

I think that the most likely nominees will be Alberto Gonzales, Michael Luttig and John Ashcroft.

I believe O'Connor has had breast cancer.
