For reasons that escape me, I feel the need to go on record with my predictions regarding Supreme Court retirements and such. I should stress that I have no inside information here. And, as you’ll see, my predictions are utterly lacking in novelty. But here’s what I believe is going to happen:
1. The Chief Justice will announce his retirement next week.
2. No other member of the Court will retire this Term.
3. President Bush will nominate Judge Luttig to be the next Chief Justice.
I won’t be happy if I turn out to be right. I would be much happier if Judge Roberts were nominated instead.

I think Bush is going to surprise us and go with a dark horse, someone who hasn’t gotten a lot of press scrutiny. Like Shedd or someone.
