AP just announced Sandra Day O'Connor is retiring. Now, that SUCKS. Not because she was a great jurist, especially, but because she was the swing vote on so many fucking cases. I guess she wanted to throw the decision to Shrub (given her reaction when Gore's victory in Florida was originally announced - "Oh, no, that's terrible!" - I would say she's a Bushlover.)
Update: Google news shows that the first site to have this story is Wizbang, a conservative blog. Just goes to show how well coordinated the right-wing blogs are in the GOP noise machine.
She was already on record as planning to retire before 2008, so always to be a Bush choice. It's just the earliness that's surprising folks...
