WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush has the rare opportunity to name two justices to the U.S. Supreme Court after the death Saturday of Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist.

The Bush administration may follow one of three scenarios to replace the chief justice and nominate a second justice, court sources told CNN Sunday.

Bush could ask Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to put off her retirement and serve as chief justice. Earlier this year, O'Connor announced she would retire when her replacement is confirmed.

Court sources see this as a "consensus pick" that faces opposition from conservatives. It would still leave O'Connor's associate justice seat open and would likely only be a temporary solution.

Bush has nominated John Roberts to replace O'Connor. Roberts' confirmation hearing is set to begin Tuesday, but observers say it is likely to be postponed until after Rehnquist's funeral.

Bush also could elevate a sitting conservative associate justice, such as Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas, to chief justice. That option could lead to a contentious hearing, plus two more hearings to fill associate justice seats.

In a third scenario, Bush could appoint someone from outside the court. Sources say a likely short list could include Judges J. Harvie Wilkinson and Michael Luttig from the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals and former Solicitor General Ted Olsen, who helped argue Bush's side in the recount case of 2000.

Bush nominated Roberts, a conservative white male, to replace O'Connor. The president can expect pressure to name a woman or a Hispanic to fill the second vacancy. When O'Connor retires, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be the only woman on the court.

Bush chose Roberts after interviewing five candidates in person, including Wilkinson and federal appellate judge Edith Clement.

he'll confirm Roberts and elevate Scalia to chief justice :2 cents:
don't think it will have such and affect on porn, as much as it could save Bush from possible impeachment and Iraq Abu Grabib investigation drama

you never know what they will do once they are in, thomas voted down copa and he is very conservative.

Rehnquist was already conservative as hell so that's no real issue, Roberts is!

hot sig!
