| Can Justice Stevens hold on until '08? |
|
If Rehnquist retires and Bush appoints another conservative, ok, we can deal with that. Roberts we can deal with too.
But if Stevens retires, or gets sick, and Bush appoints a conservative in his place, well then we have a serious serious issue.
Anyone know his state of health?

He is in good health considering he is the oldest man on the Court. I talked to his brother once, (younger brother, now gone) who said Justice Stevens had no plans of retiring anytime soon. He's got some years left in him.

| 4. He just needs to make it past 2007 |

The last year of a presidency the Senate can stall. That is what happened to nearly all of Clinton's 2000 appointments.
