Well, the airwaves are pulsing with the news that Bush has made his decision on the replacement for Justice O’Connor and will announce his pick tonight in a prime time address. Given the fact this is probably a result of scheduling the address I would guess the waiting is over! President Bush has made his […]

Mark Coffey pointed us to the last minute rumor from Erik @ Redstate on Joy (Edith) Clement, and to Michelle Malkin’s magnificent round up on the latest rumblings. The fact so much is breaking might be an indicator that the announcement is soon. I was hoping it would be Janice Rogers Brown, but I am […]

More updates from Erik and Redstate. I am holding by my prediction that Rhenquist is waiting on Stevens final decision before he announces, and that Rehnquist would announce last. Three-quarters of Washington says the Stevens rumor is garbage. The other quarter is right. I firmly reside in the ‘other quarter’. I think there will be […]

Don Surber has a great post on some laughable Dean spam-mail on an upcoming meeting Dean and Reid will be having with Bush on Supreme Court nominees. The fact that Dean is delusional enough to believe he is in the same league as Bush politically is humorous enough. My favorite Surber-ism was this line: Reid […]

The biggest decision by the Supreme Court has been the one confirming that disasterous and illegal land grab called eminent domain (for increasing the tax base by giving land to rich, connected developers). Tracing a link back to Coyote Blog I ran across this post on why Janice Rogers Brown should be a Supreme Court […]

Of course I need to be back on the road this morning so it should be a great news day – since they seem to break while I am away from my computer. But I think there is a good chance John Paul Stevens will announce his retirement soon, followed by Rehnquist. Erik at Redstate […]

It is no surprise that there will be at least two vacancies on the Supreme Court in Bush’s second term, possibly three. It also made sense for any justices who were going to retire this summer do so before Rehnquist makes his exit so there would be clear indicators of which sitting justices may be […]

The more and more I read about the liberal reactions to the O’Connor retirement the more calm I become about how this will play out. The liberals are in a crazed panic mode. Their worlds are about to fall apart. Mark Coffey at Decision ’08 and The Kommissar have some great commentary from the liberal […]

Why did all the big hitting news this week hit on the days I was flying? So we now have one confirmed justice to replace. I find it interesting Rehnquist was not first, but I am sure the Bush and administration and the GOP senate wanted to establish some precedence on ‘extraordinary circumstances’ (the filibuster […]

I did not receive very many responses for inputs to this Carnival – so I went hunting for them! Also, last time out I focused solely on issues on judicial appointments, etc. So the 2nd part of this Carnival shows off posts from Coalition of The Chillin’ members who are so chilled out they are […]
