Why Justice O'Conner, why????

Why retire now! Justice Rehnquist has cancer, and he is hanging on till the bitter end! Now, a key swing voter, who has kept those who want to send women's rights back to the 19th Century, is retiring and we are all screwed. G.W. will have a field day trying to find a conservative, activist judge to do his dirty work. Ugh! Canada and Europe are becoming more and more attractive each day.
