THE PELICAN BRIEF REVISITED?

Has it occurred to anyone else that the mugging of Supreme Court Justice David Souter might have been more than just a run-of-the-mill attack? It gave me eerie flashbacks to the film The Pelican Brief, where two Supremes were murdered in order to enable the POTUS to appoint justices more friendly to his friends. Souter has long been a major dis-appointment to the Repubs because of his centrist rulings. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I wouldn't put anything past some of these guys.
