According to a piece on NPR yesterday, any votes she casts between now and her retirement will only be counted IF the Court's decision is announced while she's still on the bench. Any votes she makes in a case where the decision isn't announced 'til after she steps down will be voided. They figure that she'll probably be tapped to write many of the Majority opinions for the early cases, as she has a reputation as a "fast writer".
I have not agreed with SDO on the issues, but I have respected her (right to the point where she made her comment about not retiring if Gore won--then not recusing herself)---but, I sure respect her more than this new clown.
I can't believe that she would retire and hand her position to a woman with no experience.
