At one point in the SOTU the cameras focused on Justice
Ginsburg.......she is so frail and I think the focus maybe was to
highlight the possibility that President Obama will be receiving her
resignation before the second term ends, because of her being physically
unable to continue. This possibility was one of the reasons his
re-elections was so important and significant to the future of decisions
by the Supreme Court. We definitely do not need more Scalia/Alito......
types, the court can be a hindrance to common sense, just see how the
corporation decision allowing them to be treated as people is such a
negative idea and then in this session the Citizens United ----more of
that we definitely do not need.
Who do you think might
be on the short list for appointment? Senator Lugar? Hillary Clinton?
or someone outside the political realm with a history of serving in the
justice system as the catapult to consideration?
When
did we last have a justice with enough knowledge of how decisions affect
the political climate? I thought perhaps the Chief's siding favorably
on the ACA decision reflects a gain in that arena of thought at last.
