Supreme Court Position...openning?......

Although the news coverage has been monopolized by the "porkulis" bill, a really important thing is happening on the Supreme Court. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg announced that she had contracted pancreatic cancer. No matter who gets this awful disease, our prays are with them and their families. I wish her a fast recovery.

On the other hand, the justice is 75 years old. This may push her to retire from the bench. I am sure President Obama's plan for his first nominee was not to replace one of his own. It will be really interesting and very revealing if we are able to have him replace one of the judges in his first year. The chances Justice Ginsburg would be still on the bench in 4/8 years is questionable anyway.
