SCOTUS Drama:Justices Stevens and Ginsburg Rumored To Be Stepping Down
Thanks to a heads up from the Joshua blog, ABC News just posted a story on their Web site that claims the White House is working hard behind the scenes in preparation for a possible nasty round of musical chairs for the US Supreme Court if two of the judges step down this spring.
Justice John Paul Stevens is one of the rumored potential retirees. At 89, the judge admitted to the Associated Press last fall that he hadn’t hired a full complement of clerks for next term, according to ABC News.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as we already know,announced last year that she had undergone surgery for early stage pancreatic cancer. She is 76.
The implications of this piece of news if true is mammoth. If these two justices stepped down this would give Obama a surefire chance to shape the Supreme Court; an opportunity that will not lost on Republican leadership and sure to create political mayhem for the selection process of the two potential vacancies if the rumors are indeed true.
