I'm surprised there hasn't been discussion of this yet:

I wish Justice O'Connor all the best. She has often been the voice of reason on a sharply divided court. Justice O'Connor was the first woman Justice and she will go down in history as one of the great associate justices of all time, not because of her gender but because of her intelligence, common sense and decency.
Of course the political implications of this are huge. Who will Pres. Bush nominate to fill the vacancy? Will it be a very conservative nominee or someone more moderate? We shall soon see.
