Has Rehnquist resigned?

The latest rumour, unconfirmed by the MSM.

from http://stopanncoulter.com/

"According to a source very close to the Bush administration, US Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist has submitted his resignation to President Bush. Apparently they are waiting until the Supreme Court's term ends this week to make this announcement."

Also mentioned by Hugh Hewitt (according to a free republic post).

If this turns out to be true, then, well, who cares. Partisan hackery and spin games lie ahead. I wonder whether the "bipartisan coalition" will be able to find the "golden middle" once again, haha.

On a side note, I'm amused by the possibility of stopanncoulter.com breaking this huge story.
