Commence Armageddon

O'Connor (O'Connor?) announces retirement.

This is bigger than a Rehnquist retirement. O'Connor was the sensible middle, the crucial swing. Replacing Rehnquist with another Rehnquist would be a wash. Bushco will not chose another moderate. Everything's changed. Anyone who doesn't believe that dWarf will choose an FU appointee has learned nothing over the past four and a half years.

This is the nomination that all sides have been girding for. Shitstorms are on the horizon. We only think we've seen ugly.
