I knew it.  People kept saying it was going to be Renquist.  Actually I will bet that Renquist goes soon too.  Now we have to fight two nut case appointments from Bush.  
Go to PFAW and sign up for their action network.  They have a BIG push planned to protect the court.

Re: Supreme Court Vacancies: Bush Should Choose Consensus Not Confrontation

Within the next few weeks, President George W. Bush may have the opportunity to make his first nomination or nominations to the U.S. Supreme Court, an opportunity that will be a defining moment of his presidency.

President Bush will face the choice of whether to honor the spirit of bipartisan cooperation that emerged in the Senate to avert the nuclear option – and follow the precedent set when each of his three most recent predecessors made their first Supreme Court selection – and nominate someone who will be supported by most senators in both political parties, or to heed the demands of his party’s ideologues and embroil the nation in further partisanship, controversy and division, distracting the country from other pressing issues. For the good of the country and the Supreme Court, President Bush should choose bipartisan consensus over confrontation.

And join in the meetings with your representatives:

onstituent Meetings with U.S. Senators:
The Future of the Supreme Court and Our Rights
Your senator needs to hear from YOU, and the July 4th recess is the perfect opportunity for you to speak up in person. PFAW is organizing meetings at the state offices of your senator(s) so you can meet with them or their staff to let them know you would like them to:

* Preserve Checks and Balances – Protect the minority right to filibuster
* Reject extremist judicial nominations, and insist the president consult with both parties and choose consensus Supreme Court justices who have broad bipartisan support
* Hold the president to his constitutional obligation to seek “advice and consent” on ALL judicial nominations

Register to join a meeting delegation in your state and urge senators to vote against an extreme right-wing Supreme Court nominee, to demand consultation and consensus in the judicial nominations process, and to continue to protect the filibuster from the Radical Right’s attacks. Start by filling out this form. Please remember to sign up individually, even if you are participating with someone else.
