Predictably (at least it was to me), pressure is beginning to heat up among liberals who want two older Supreme Court justices to retire so that Obama can pick their successors before the 2016 election. From the article:
In a Reuters interview late on Tuesday, she vowed to resist any pressure to retire that might come from liberals who want to ensure that Democratic President Barack Obama can pick her successor before the November 2016 presidential election.
I'm not going to bother looking them all up but off the top of my head I can recall 3 of 4 previous presidents that had one turned down. Myers, Zoey what's her name, Bork....
Only Bork was rejected by the Senate.
Miers was rejected by the person who nominated her (Bush) because of opposition from her OWN party.
Do you even understand how important the Supreme Court is?
Yes. I'm also, in case you haven't noticed by reading any of my other posts, not a right wing fringe loon, so I'm ok with the Democrats appointing SCOTUS judges. Heck, even Republicans sometimes appoint good ones, look at Souter.
Court should never ever be political...............just another problem in the madness that is the USofA. I have commented to you but don't read your posts daily. That doesn't change the fact. If our supremes ever become one sided then we may as well check it in...........either side.

The members of the court are appointed and approved by politicians who choose them because of their perceived politics. That's just how it is. You gotta better way to choose the judges? What are we going to do, vote on them? Yeah I'm sure that would make them less political. I guess we could pick names out of a hat, but that seems rather arbitrary.
Yes voting on them would be good. Why not? Of course somebody would file a lawsuit...........lol
