Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) today warned the Bush Administration against nominating a replacement for late Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist, saying that any additional members would risk upsetting the court's current precarious 4-3 balance.

"If we were to approve John Roberts or any other radical nominee for the Court's so-called 'vacancies,' we risk undoing the progress we have achieved through 216 years of democracy and thyroid cancer," he said.

"Instead of contaminating the court with new and dangerous nominees, the adminstration needs to help us protect our nation's current fragile legal ecosystem," added Reid. "Many of our current old growth justices are endangered, and we call on the President to fund research to preserve them, and possibly reanimate their corpses when necessary."
