Some non-Bush supporters were taking a bit of comfort this morning in the news that John Ashcroft is probably stepping down as Attorney-General.
Looks like that joy may be premature and short-lived. "Reliable sources" from within the Bush camp are saying Rehnquist is likely to step down soon for health reasons and that Bush wants to appoint him to the SCOTUS. I don't understand how this works, but the talk is there's a way he could do that WITHOUT needing Senate confirmation!
