No, that's just about the looming political battle over confirmation of another SC justice.  Today is a day for mourning his passing, tomorrow will be the day for politics.  Such is the way of Washington...

So now the single party control of the US government will get strengthened even further. Scary.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

Alright, it's sealed now. The Republicans officially control all three branches of government. I'm not really up on my American history, but am I correct that this is the first such case since the US came into existance??

No. The Democratic-Republicans dominated for quite a few years between the War of 1812 and when Andrew Jackson was elected, as they were the only party. There might be others, but that's the only one coming to mind.

Rehnquist being the staunch liberalist that he was :doubt:

He was appointed by Nixon.  He is, and always has been, a Republican justice.  Letting a Republican president appoint his successor doesn't seem to tip the balance of the courts much.

I've always had a great deal of respect for Rehnquist.  Not only was he a great leader on the Court, but he understood the role of a justice and how to apply the Constitution to the modern day better than most.  He will be missed. :(

Being on the Supreme Court tends to do that to people.

That's happens more often than you might think.  I believe that Earl Warren jumped straight to chief justice when he was appointed.  It makes some degree of sense, too; if you're a president who has to appoint a new chief justice, you'd want the new leader to be someone that you're handpicking instead of someone chosen years ago by a different president.
