Fellow blawger Kaimi Wenger notices an error at the Washington Post:
If Rehnquist retired, Bush would have the option of elevating a current member to chief justice while installing a new nominee as associate justice. In that case, officials said, he would most likely choose from the court's other four Republican appointees, O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas or Anthony M. Kennedy.
Let's see, that makes Stevens, Rehnquist, and the "other four Republican appointees." A total of six.
I guess Souter is much more "stealth" than anyone realized: the Post apparently forgot he exists!
Link from Howard Bashman.
