Justice O'Connor to Resign and this bodes very bad things for those of us in the Bush-is-a-friggin-lunatic camp. He could and likely will nominate someone so thoroughly reprehensible that the Democrats will have to expend alot of energy to fight them.
And with Rehnquist on the way out as well, we are seriously facing a dangerous paradigm shift in the fundamental nature of judicial power in this country.
I might hope, if someone other than Bush were in charge, that there would be some real thought and consideration to get the best candidate for the position into the court. But there are no hopes with Bush, there are only long, sad sighs and fury.
I will hope that the country remembers what an abysmally shitty job Bush has done in office, about how he led a nation and its allies into a war based on intelligence he knew to be false, how he has given tax break after tax break to his pals while making legislation with great names and not enough funding, that he's seen the greatest budget surplus so very quickly turned into the worst budget deficit in our country's history, that people will remember his lies (Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11 and the guy who did have everything to do with it is STILL RUNNING FREE!).
Today marks the end of the first half of 2005. With each notch passing on the calendar, we get closer to ousting this fool from Crawford and, hopefully, closer to opening up criminal proceedings against him.
