I say he retires the day after the end of the next session. June 2006.

While he may act on that, what's the pay day to a retired justice? Is he going to argue cases before the court (after the two-year bar)? Is he going to make speeches? What value would he add to a firm? I just don't see a huge pay day. Sure, better than $160k/year, but not for more than a few years.
Would you want him as a partner? Of the business kind?
