AP: Justice Stevens to leave while Obama in office

Edited on Sat Apr-03-10 09:53 PM by Skip Intro

WASHINGTON – Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens says he "will surely" retire while President Barack Obama is still in office, giving the president the opportunity to maintain the high court's ideological balance.

1. This is another reason why, as disappointed as I was about the

end of the Democratic Primary, I never ONCE considered voting for the repuke.........who was the repuke candidate, anyway?

Anyway, I got on the Obama bus after the Democratic Convention and I haven't looked back since.
