Supreme Court is always a Campaign Issue
No comment (really):
Taegan Goddard's Political Wire: Rehnquist Hospitalized: " 'Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, 80 and the second-oldest man to preside over the nation's highest court, is undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer,' the New York Times reports.
The news 'gave new prominence to a campaign issue that has been overshadowed by the war on terrorism. The next president is likely to name several justices to a court that has been deeply divided in recent years on issues as varied as abortion and the 2000 election itself.' "
