Souter hates being on the court and was waiting for an opportunity to retire.
Ginzberg has been ill and also has been waiting for an opportunity to retire.
Stevens is 88 years old. It is unlikely he will be on the court for the full 2008 to 2012 presidential election.
And Breyer was appointed by Bill Clinton, I believe. He is 70 but I have heard nothing of him retiring.
And you can forget Roe v Wade being overturned now. If you overturn Roe, you have to overturn all of the right to privacy cases, and that simply will not happen now.
And THAT is one of the things Obama was elected for. And one of the reasons the states can't ever be trusted to handle this issue is because they simply don't protect women's rights. That's what the fed is for, to make sure that the same people who tried to keep blacks from going to "white" universities" can't make it illegal for women to make their own decisions.
so, what is Obama going to do, in your judgment, about these issues?
