Big changes are looming in the Supreme Court... changes which depend on the outcome of the 2016 elections.
Four Judges, two liberal and two conservative, are at retirement age: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Anthony Kennedy and Antonin Scalia. Rumor has it that Obama is pressuring Ginsburg and Breyer to retire early next year, especially if it looks like a Republican might win the presidency. He doesn't want a conservative Republican to have the opportunity to replace any liberal seats.
All four are 76 or older and will be 78 or older when the new president takes office. If he/she holds office for eight years, all of these Judges will be well into their 80's; Ginsberg will be 90. So, the likelihood that all four will retire by then is extremely high.
It is vitally important to the future of America that we choose our next president after careful consideration of qualities and track records. We need to ensure that the makeup of the Court does not change to a totally liberal stance.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
