Plan for Two?:

[1]Howard points out that [2]Drudge has a report that the White House
is planning for two vacancies to open up at the Supreme Court:
President Bush's top political and legal advisers have been
quietly planning for the possibility that two Supreme Court
justices will step down from the bench at the end of this term, the
DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
"Plan for two," the president recently told senior staff, sources
claim.
Of course, planning alone doesn't mean much; Presidents have been
planning for an opening in the current Court since Breyer arrived in
1994.
An aside: I wonder, what role will the legal blogs play in the
debate over future Supreme Court nominees? A big one, I would think.
The merits of nominee X will be the topic of the month, and the debate
will be much faster, more sophisticated, and more widely read by legal
insiders than anything in the MSM.
