Still Waiting on the Chief
"That's for me to know and you to find out."
Vintage Rehnquist. I doubt he's happy about retirement, but I know he's happy to have everyone waiting. I bet that he wanted to hand deliver his letter to the president, like O'Connor did. Bush got back about 5 PM Central time and had some ceremonial thing that he had to do (I don't know, I had the TV on mute). So Rehnquist would have to wait until that was over to see him. Even if that is the case, it doesn't mean that they have to make the announcement tonight. It's possible that they just sit on it for a day or two. I guess we just have to wait.
