Just caught this in Robert Novak’s column in today’s Chicago Sun Times:

Adding to the tension is word from court sources that ailing Chief Justice William Rehnquist also will announce his retirement before the week is over.

The question, of course, is if this is speculation, or if he is actually informed.  It’s obviously likely that Rehnquist will step down soon.  Does anybody out there have any better information?  The way Novak says it in his story, it’s like this is common knowledge.

Sorry for the short diary.  I’d really like to hear if others have more conclusive information or have seen similar claims, but I’ll happily delete this if consensus is that Novak is speaking out of his nether-regions.
