Supreme Court Discussion. Which Justices will be retiring in January?

[Pryderi]

I hope some of them resign very quickly.

Stevens and who else?

1. I don't know, but this is where I want Hillary! n/t

2. I think Ginsburg wants to retire.

She is going to be 77 years old.

6. She needs to hang on

And I feel she will until the court corrects itself into a fair entity.

3. They may not do it right away. In fact I think waiting at least a year would be preferable

unless someone is taken ill

It gives time for the administration time focus on immediate problems, i.e. the economy, healthcare, and the Iraq War

Within two years however would be perfect timing


That is unless one of the Federalist society judges retires, that would be good if it occurred ASAP

[Pryderi]

4. I think it should happen within the first 100 days.

[onenote]

5. I doubt any of them will retire until the end of this session of the court

This session just started and won't end until June. Someone may announce their retirement in the spring, figuring that a replacement can/will be confirmed before the next session begins.

7. Scalia's getting long in the tooth...

If he retires, that's a big opportunity to bring some badly needed sanity to the SCOTUS.
