For quite awhile now, when conservatives have salivated over the idea of yet another Supreme Court opening, Judge Stevens has always been at the top of the list. He\’s chief qualifer for that list is…well, he\’s old. Word is that he\’s determined to retire under a Republican President as well. So we got that going for us….which is nice.

But you gotta take another look at the list when you see this…

The subject matter was extremely technical, and near the end of the argument Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dozed in her chair. Justices David Souter and Samuel Alito, who flank the 72-year-old, looked at her but did not give her a nudge.

Wow…I guess keeping track of what\’s in a \”living document\” is a little more tiring than well, just reading what it says. Sounds like someone could use the sweet rest that retirement brings.

My guess is she\’s gonna stick it out, in which case I know what I\’m buying Alito and Souter for Christmas presents. A set of cymbals, an air horn and a wiffle bat.
