It’s a real cryin’ shame that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist didn’t pull the trigger on the ol’ “nuclear option” last March, April or May . . . ’cause now we are going to have to break the filibuster for real. Via the A/P.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court and a key swing vote on issues such as abortion and the death penalty, said Friday she is retiring.
O’Connor, 75, said she expects to leave before the start of the court’s next term in October, or whenever the Senate confirms her successor. There was no immediate word from the White House on who might be nominated to replace O’Connor.
It’s been 11 years since the last opening on the court, one of the longest uninterrupted stretches in history. O’Connor’s decision gives President Bush his first opportunity to appoint a justice.
As they say on Iron Chef, “The battle is ON!” Go get ‘em George — now it’s really time to “win one” for the Gipper! (db)
