“Imagined Resignations”

From an article in the Fulton County Daily Report:
Thomas’ five-minute address included a suggestion that no member of his court was planning to retire. Since Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist announced he was being treated for thyroid cancer last fall, speculation about a court vacancy has been rampant.
Thomas noted that his court ended its term on Monday as “winds of controversy swirled about the Court’s decisions and, unfortunately, about the imagined resignations.”
