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.

Yeah, with her health, President Obama and a currently Democratic Senate, now would be the time for her to resign. After January (from the look right now) would make no sense.

Liberals hope she would live on the communist anti Constitution hag........but folks get old. Oh yes they want Obama to appoint some lunatics like he has in every cabinet position since his election. Sad times for the old USofA.

The question is.....could Obama even reliably get the left to get behind his pick today?

The left? I thought the NRA has final say on nominations these days.

She better retire before the 2014 election if she wants Obama to pick her successor.

Good point - the Senate has to confirm any new appointee.

Harrier hadn't thought about that yet.
