Chief Justice Rehnquist to the GOP: Hey, I'm Still on the Job Here!

A pro-Bush bunch is already running an ad attacking the Democrats' resistence to President Bush's Supreme Court nominee. The Folks at FactCheck.org explain the time warp in their latest article:

"Pro-Bush group's ad faults Democrats for criticisms they haven't yet made, about a Supreme Court nominee who hasn't been named, to a vacancy that doesn't yet exist."
The group Progress for America is spending $700,000 running the ad through July 1.

There is speculation that Mr Rehnquist will announce his retirement the week of July 4 -- if he decides to retire. Looks like Progress for America is willing to bet 700-grand on that. (FactCheck.org)
