I don't want to wish ill on anyone, but at the same time I wouldn't mind if Stevens, Breyer, Ginsburg, Kennedy, or Souter decided to retire for whatever reason. :) TT -- I wouldn't be incredibly surprised... but at least it would backfire either way for them. They wouldn't get a liberal justice (assuming Bush stands his ground) and they would fail in 2008 as well. Either way, I can still be optimistic and hope that everything would turn out just right. ;) Neil and Bridget — I’m definitely praying for a change!

Don’t be surprised if they do, they are that petty.

So far, we've replaced a conservative with a conservative and a moderate with a conservative. We really need a big flip. A fair number of conservative appointees have run to the left once on the bench (Kennedy, O'Connor, Souter). If we don't get another real conservative, we'll be stuck with a pro-Roe Court for a long, long time. I hope that Justice Stevens retires.
