Jockeying begins for empty high court seat
Tuesday, July 12, 2005
When news broke that Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was retiring from the Supreme Court, special interest groups on both sides of the liberal/conservative divide jumped into action -- never mind that President Bush has not yet named an individual to fill that vacancy. Conservatives are worried that any individual that possesses a conservative bent will be Borked by the Senate Democrats, a process that the left is already gearing up for, if Ted Kennedy's recent opinion piece is anything to go by.
