...many cases decided 5 to 4 or 6 to 3, the pragmatic O'Connor was a swing vote, so how would having Roberts replace her affect the court's chemistry? He's not likely to simply take her place, says Lee Epstein, a co-author of an upcoming Supreme Court nomination history, Advice and Consent. That position goes to Justice Anthony Kennedy, the next most movable target. For now, the only label all but tattooed on Roberts' forehead simply reads, CONSERVATIVE BUT NOT AN IDEOLOGUE--which makes it impossible to know the brokering role he might assume. It is possible...

Once you've paid for a service that's anywhere you go (within the boundaries of the 40+ markets), why would you swing by a Starbucks to pay for an additional service like T-Mobile's location-specific Wi-Fi? That isn't to say the phone couldn't be used to access your home Wi-Fi network if you have one, but if you don't have one, you might not need it. EVDO...

Rehnquist has been a consistent conservative vote on the court, and if he was succeeded by another firm conservative, the court's ideological balance would stay the same. O'Connor is another matter. For much of her 24 terms, she has been a critical swing vote on inflamed issues like abortion, affirmative action and church-state relations.
