Just when I thought Washington Politics couldn't get more turbulent

With the passing of Justice Rehnquist, things surrounding the Roberts Confirmation just got a little more heated. Opponents of the president will see this as their worst nightmare: A "W" packed court, a Wacked Court so to speak. Therefore, except fireworks and firearms when the confirmation hearings begin.

Maybe. Maybe not.

It could also be the case that Bush's opponents will wait and save the ammo. It could even be a ploy to get Bush to lower his defenses and put forward someone very radical, at least, radical in the eyes of his opponents.

Either way, may Justice Rehnquist rest in peace and may his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
