Text of her letter of resignation:
She has been the balance of the court, offsetting the radical conservatism of Scalia, Thomas, and even Rhenquist. Why she would retire now, knowing that Bush will do everything in his power to appoint a judge as conservative as possible, is beyond me. At least we will now see how honest the Republicans who agreed to the filibuster compromise actually are.‘’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. It has been a great privilege indeed to have served as a member of the court for 24 terms. I will leave it with enormous respect for the integrity of the court and its role under our constitutional structure.'’"Remember, there's good stuff in American culture, too. It's just that by "good stuff" we mean "attacking the French," and Germany's been doing that for ages now, so, well, where does that leave us?" - ElokComment

Yes, she was the moderating influence on the eminent domain case alright.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Actually... this might be the best time for her to retire. Bush is at his weakest, and probably can't get away with putting a totally conservative judge up for the job.
It will have to be somebody closer to the center.Keep on Civin'

Last time, we also thought it would have to be somebody close to the center, but instead, we got Clarence Thomas.Originally posted by Ming

January 2007 would've been the best time..."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

she won't actually retire until they find a replacement. Who knows how long that process will drag on.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

So Bush gets 2 appointments now? O'Connor and likely Rehnquist? I'm saddened by all the scare commercials I'll have to deal with now.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
