That statement is accurate. Sandra Day O'Conner is still a sitting Associate Justice. She worded her retirement so that it does not take effect until her successor is confirmed. It's Rehnquist's death that reduces the number of justices from 9 to 8.

Makes things easier, one conservative for the Right and for the Left ... a "moderate" conservative. Fair and balanced.

Good news for you, Jay, just announced Bush is nominating John Roberts to Chief Justice spot. Ain't that the way, a brother man works hard for 15 years on the job only to see The Man promote a white man just off the streets ahead of him. Nobody knows the trouble Thomas sees. Nobody knows his sorrow. How long must he suffer in such a low-ranking menial job-er wait a minute.

If I were John Roberts, I'd be reluctant to drink a can of Coke right> about now.
