That's awful. The woman wants to retire, let her retire. She's one of the most respected justices on that court because she always put a faithful interpretation of the law over engaging in these kinds of shameless politics. It's not her fault that Bush didn't pick a woman for his second choice, and it's not her fault that the woman he picked as his first choice was ridden out of town on a rail. I feel bad enough for her that she's had to stick around this long as a result of Rehnquist's death, when she'd probably love to be relaxing at home or taking a cruise or something.
