O'Connor Replacement to Be Announced at 9PM:
Big news — President Bush will be announcing his pick to replace Justice O'Connor tonight at 9pm. Given the unfortunate realities of the confirmation process, I feel a bit like it's the opening scene of a new Stephen Sondheim musical, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Courtroom."
Something familiar,Or something like that, anyway. Stay tuned.
