Does Rehnquist want to have bush appoint his replacement?

[tk2kewl]

Or would he prefer to hang on if he could until there was a different president?

1. They will wait until Congress goes off on vacation

then approve someone before the Dems know about it.

4. I guess it is hear say -- I got into a conversation with his

sister-in-law. She said he would stay as long as he could. He doesn't want * to make the appointment. He doesn't like * or poppy.

7. Enough to make one wonder why he then cast the deciding vote selecting

W in '00.

5. I think he'd hang on as long as he could

but this really doesn't surprise me any. He's old and sick. I got the impression he doesn't care for shrub and his minions.

[Jacobin]

6. Well, Rehnquist appointed Bush president, so I suppose

Bush can return the favor by appointing his replacement
