US Election and Supreme Court

[Randallw]

I was actually thinking about this. With Renquist out sick, there will need to be a new judge when the Court convenes to decicde the election and my understanding is that the President appoints judges (I may be wrong, hell here in Australia the Prime Minister chooses the Governor General, who in turn in responsible for accepting any new Prime Minister). I forsee the Democrats accusing the President of choosing a sympathetic judge.
