Gee - does that mean Florida can recount those votes now?

This is bad....I mean really...not....good.

How much y'all want to bet that the administration knew all about this well before she put in the resignation letter?

and there is likely to be at least two more justices replaced before dubya's term is over.

Yep, that's the word. I'm just praying that the Dems take over the Congress before W has a chance to screw things further. Though obviously that's not going to happen before O'Connor's replacement....

I see only one way out of this country's current mess. Memorize this little ditty:

O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

I would seriously consider moving to Canada if it weren't so doggone far north.

I like my sunny southern climate too much. After seeing Bowling for Columbine I realized how reasonable the people are up there too.

Oh its not gonna be that big a deal - he'll probably submit Gonzales (atty gen now and his best friend) and he'll get approved with no problem - and he's actually more moderate than most of the people GW could pick from
The REAL problem is going to be in a little while when at least one more and probably two will resign this year - then we will be in for a firestorm
