Supreme Court Rumor
Yet again, there is a rumor going around. Orin Kerr reports that there is a rumor going around to the effect that Chief Justice William Rehnquist will anounce his retirement this coming Friday (oops, it’s after midnight — I guess that means later today).
I always think this predictions are silly, since I’ve been hearing people predict Rehnquist’s departure (and others) from the court for years, and it’s the sort of thing that if you predict it long enough, it will eventually come true no matter what. Which does not exactly make you a genius.
Still, if he announces retirement in the morning, I want credit for “predicting” it. You heard it here first.
