Speaking of partisan Supreme Court justices, why haven't a few of the Republicans on the Court retired during Bush's first term? Didn't it occur to them that his first term might be his last? I'll bet a couple of them thought that 9/11 guaranteed four more years for W. Now they might have Kerry nominating their replacements.

Not sure I understand your premise. Who would you suspect would retire? Scalia, Thomas? During the next four years it might be Stevens or O'Connor, perhaps Ginsberg, which would make getting Bush out of office even more urgent for liberals and moderates.
