Rush just said rumor is that when President Bush returns today, CJ Rehnquist will announce his retirement.

He also said strong rumor is that John Paul Stevens will also retire later this year.

Bet the Libs are going crazy!!!

Stevens is 85 and that has been speculated for awhile. Ginsberg is also not in the best of health and speculation is rife. This could be significant.

Hang tough, Mr. President. you promised us a Conservative court.

Advisers inside and outside the White House are discussing how to select two potential nominees, how they might match or balance each other and how to sequence their confirmation hearings.

"We're prepared for every contingency," said a senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because Rehnquist has made no announcement. "If it's multiple candidates, we'll be ready."
