| A note from John Kerry |

Dear Steve,
The Fourth of July is a time for family, fun and fireworks.
But something happened today that ought to remind everyone what this holiday really symbolizes -- the freedom that makes America great.
That's exactly what hangs in the balance now that Sandra Day O'Connor has resigned from the Supreme Court.
This is no small deal. Over and over, she was the Justice who cast the critical vote in 5-4 cases deciding the most important issues in our nation.
Here's our bottom line for the johnkerry.com community heading into the holiday weekend: we can never let her be replaced by a Justice who does not respect the right to privacy and Roe v. Wade, and who doesn't understand the freedoms protected in our Constitution.
So, this weekend, as you enjoy the Fourth -- take a minute to think about what it means, and come back on Tuesday morning ready to fight for our freedom. It's all at stake now, and we need to come together more than ever.
Get ready,
John Kerry

I guess this is another one of those "extraordinary circumstances."
I read just this morning how everyone on both sides has been geared up for this for months. People for the American Way in particular, putting vacation plans on hold, preparing commercials and lists of every conceivable nominee - ready to destroy the lucky winner. Funny that Kerry's letter confirms that...
So what are the chances of a Bush man/woman taking her place? Who's going to be the nominee?

Clarification/Follow-up by labman on 07/02/05 10:22 am:
''The people that reject right wing ideologues are American too.'' Well yes. I don't see my answer denying that. But their candidates haven't done well in recent elections, which was what my answer said. The majority of the American voters elected people that will put conservatives on the supreme court. You have a problem with majority rule now that your candidates lost?
