Rehnquist Retirement Watch (10:28 AM)
Chief Justice William Rehnquist is still not retired.
Elsewhere:
•Rehnquist overtaken by events: "First O'Connor retired. Then London was bombed. Then Dennis struck the South. Perhaps Christ will return next thereby permanently ending any ability or need to retire," but Rehnquist's announcement "could come as soon as today." [ RedState ]
•Nike hat=not retiring. K-Lo cracks the code. [ Bench Memos ]
•Less obscure coded messages: Justice Stevens hired a law clerk, which "suggests that JPS won't be stepping down from the Court anytime soon." [ UTR ]
