Now the whole thing is in shambles, With Roberts already up for
nomination to replace Sandra Day O'Connor. The court will make
a major swing to the right now. The spelling is actually Rehnquist.

Bush is not going to put anyone from inside the SC, he wants his
buddies on the outside to get in there. I don't know if thats
how its done, doesn't seem right if Bush can force an outsider to
be chief justice. It should be someone who is there already.

This should mean they are going to rehear all the cases from the pevious year and take another vote. I wonder if marijuana will be legalized "for medicinal purposes" this time around.

the news article i read said it's likely Bush will put an outsider in the top spot, not bump from within.
