Sandra Day O’Connor Resigns

Breaking

O’Connor has been a key vote to preserve the constitutional right to abortion.

Constitutional right to an abortion? Where does WaPo get their writers?

The pro abortion crowd is out in force. PP, NARAL, ACLU, NOW, MoveOn and Ms all have statements out.

Harry Reid wants someone just like her as a replacement.

UnCorrelated thinks a deal may be in the works. I think that would be nuts.

The Conservative Outpost thinks this is what the last two elections were all about. I agree. And after the removal private property rights last week, and the effective deletion of the “public interest” clause from the constitution, the importance of the replacement selections is extremely clear and fresh.

Lots of speculation, of course, about who will be in line.

The Supreme Court Nomination Blog has a look at precedents that might be on the line.

Betsy Page says “swing for the fence.” So does Volokh.

Red State claims inside sources say the prez was surprised.

The return of the nuclear option?

UPDATE: Hah! Scott Ott has a great post today.

UPDATE 2: Nominate Ann Coulter.
