Well, because US Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor announced her retirement Friday, and because she was the swing vote on many controversial judicial issues (including abortion, as we recently noted) in a 5-4 split court, American bandwidth will be consumed with the selection of her successor. This will be an all-out political war because so much depended on her lone moderate vote.
Dr. Manmohan Singh's upcoming Washington trip will now, alas, become a sideshow.
