Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor has announced her retirement. This makes me wonder whether the election of of President Bush, the selection of Pope Benedict XVI, or the confirmation of Justice XXX will be more influential in world politics of my generation. I'm currently leaning towards Bush b/c of the war in Iraq. The Justice will greatly influence things within this country, but his (pressumedly) influence outside our borders will be more limited. Either Bush or the Justice would affect me persnally more though, we have yet to see which.
