It was in the rumor mill for a month now. Justice O'Connor had a law intern leave a while ago and hadn't brought in a replacement. Usually the Supreme Court interns stick around for a year or more. So her hesitance at picking a replacement spurred the rumor she was retiring before the start of the next SC session.

It's a tiny surprise.
