Speaking of the U.S. Supreme Court, two justices are due to depart this year, which, given the Senate bottleneck require Bush to appoint two replacements on an interim basis ... or can we not continue with seven "and see how that goes?"

SCOTUS will continue to hear cases even if two justices left. Liberals won't step down with a "conservative" in office, and conservatives won't step down while "Leaky" Leahy and Daschle are obstructing confirmations. I don't look for any Justice to step down, barring medical emergencies.
