Ginsburg hints at Supreme Court vacancy 'soon'

Not surprisingly, it appears that President Obama will get his first chance to name someone to the Supreme Court really soon. I am not sure who Justice Ginsburg was referring to when she said there will be a vacancy, but I would imagine it would be her despite her pleas that she wants to continue on for years to come. With her health situation, it may just be too much for her to handle. Yet, if it isn't her that leaves maybe Justice Souter is really giving consideration to retirement he has touted for years. He is only 69, but it seems like he is determined to have a few years of retirement given his service to the country. Basically, it appears as though President Obama will just be appointing new liberals to supplant the old liberals on the Bench.
