Justice O'Connor announced that she is going to retire. This came somewhat as a surprise, everyone was expecting Chief Justice Rehnquist to retire. This is not good news. If the Chief Justice does retire, and I can't imagine him going on much longer, than that is going to give Bush two seats on the Supreme Court to fill. The Court yeilds too much power for someone like Bush to be making the appointments to the chairs. I guess it's only fair, the Court gave Bush the presidency so now they're giving him the chance to fill it up with people he choses.

The thought of how this could play out sickens me.
