Here's my question. This makes for a VERY tight schedule to get a judge appointed by the time the new session starts. O'Conner had said that she'd stick around until a judge was appointed to replace her. At this point, is Roberts locked in as O'Conner's replacement, or can Bush pick a new Chief Justice, appoint Roberts to fill Rehnquist's spot, and have O'Conner stick around to allow for a decently paced search and confirmation?
