Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist may resign as early as tomorrow, a senior senate aid tells RAW STORY.
Rehnquists' resignation would fall just days after the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
Rehnquist's resignation was suggested earlier today by conservative columnist Robert Novak who, relies on a bevy of anonymous Republican sources.
Novak suggested that Rehnquists' retirement could allow President Bush to nominate Alberto Gonzales.
According to one source, Republican judiciary aides have told other staffers to be prepaired for a possible resignation tomorrow between 10 and 11 am.
Rehnquist has been suffering from cancer and was widely expected to resign when the court closed its term earlier this month.
Raw Story will provide more information as it becomes available.
