I would prefer that the speculation and jockeying over Rehnquist's replacement wait until Roberts is confirmed.

The Other Justice
[Kathryn Jean Lopez 09/05 10:08 AM]
Prediction: The president announces his associate justice pick tonight, when he returns to D.C. from the Katrina-ravaged area. It will be a strong message highlighting his desire to get the process rolling with speed. The vetting has all happened on the White House side, they went through candidates before the Roberts-as-associate-justice announcement. An announcement about the other opening tonight would make a lot of sense. And any crassness concerns — nominating someone before Rehnquist is even buried — seem to be mute with the announcement of Roberts as his chief pick already.

From National Review Online, this morning

This is not a speculation over Rehnquist's replacement. She (or someone else) would replace Justice O'Connor. Please...

May Justice Rehnquist rest in Peace.
