Interesting news. A US Supreme Court judge plans to retire soon, according to
AFP.
So Obama will get his first opportunity to name someone to the bench. Thankfully, Souter is a liberal (on abortion, for example).
Interestingly, AFP mentions two other judges who experts expected would retire earlier than anyone else: 89-year-old Justice John Paul Stevens or Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 76, who is undergoing chemotherapy and recovering from pancreatic cancer surgery.
They too are liberals: It seems like Obama won't be able to change the composition of the Court in the near future. If the pedictions are right.
Good news?
