Rumors have it that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor has announced that she will retire before the next session of the Court.

Right-wingers have believed her to be a "liberal vote" on the Court (though, they magically ignore the fact that she voted to stop the Florida recount and allow Bush to take his oath of office in the 2000 presidential election), while left-wingers consider her to be more of a swing voter.

O'Connor's departure will require Bush to propose a replacement appointee to the highest court in the land.

PV Note: Look for the nuts on BOTH sides of the political spectrum to go beserk over any appointee. The Right will say she/he isn't "conservative/Christian enough" and the Left will just experience a general meltdown over whoever is proposed.
