Justice O'Connor no more...

The most important implications of Sandra Day O’Connor’s impending retirement:

  • Stephen Breyer no longer stuck with the nickname “New Guy.”
  • New appointment will give bored bipartisan senators something to distinguish themselves from one another.
  • Probable fulfillment of C-SPAN’s requirement for coverage of formal congressional hearings on pubic hair, fellatio, or previous porn experience (coming soon) at least once every six years.
  • Antonin Scalia already drafting opinion for as-of-yet nonexistent case repealing Roe v. Wade (will just insert “parties” and “facts” later).
  • Justices likely to reconsider necessity of keeping a women’s restroom.
  • Justice Souter brushing up on his Spanish…you know, just in case.

I'm stupid and don't get the Souter comment. Is he running away to Mexico?

Now one of the poor shmoes forced to stand in the back row of the SC picture will get to sit down. The real battle isn't for the vacant seat on the bench, it's for the vacant chair in the pic.

Maybe we should start a pool on who's going to be the next SCJ? I've got a few guesses but knowing Bush his selection will probably come from deep left field.

Andrea: Hadn't thought of it that way. I'd heard somewhere that a few of the short-list judges were fluent in Spanish.
