Justice
Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman on the
U.S. Supreme Court and a moderate conservative who often controlled the outcome on abortion and other issues, announced her retirement on Friday, setting the stage for a major political battle over her successor.
"This is to inform you of my decision to retire from my position as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, effective upon the nomination and confirmation of my successor," O'Connor, 75, said in a letter to
President Bush.

Welcome to the new America. Hope you aren't pro-choice or not Christian. It will get even more fun when William Rehnquist retires. Bet ya $20 bucks you can kiss the filibuster good-bye too. Everyone practice with me... O Canada! Our home and native land!...
