And it was another 5-4 decision. Even one Obama appointment to the SCOTUS will have devastating results to America.

The third one is the one I worry about. I think Ginsburg and Stevens are going to leave pretty soon. They will probably retire effective at the end of the term, giving Obama enough notice to get replacements through the Senate. I don't know who will be the next to go, but I worry about Scalia making it another four or eight years. Thomas, Alito and Roberts are all relatively young.

A couple of the judges admit they have been waiting for a democrat president in office to resign, Ginsburg would have had to be taken out feet first and cold to the touch before she would ever let President Bush replace her.

Even with 2 Obama appointments, the decision would still be 5-4. That's the good news. The bad news is he gets to renew the 2 Marxists on the Court for perhaps another 30 years.
