Mark Sherman of AP has this article on his interview with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, now the oldest Justice on the high court. "Although some have speculated she might step down next year, the 77-year-old Ginsburg told The Associated Press on Tuesday she has no plans to retire anytime soon and still wants to match Justice Louis Brandeis, who stepped down at age 82."

Justice Scalia, 74, appears to be in good health and spirits. In addition, I believe he cares too much about the real Constitution to risk a third chance that President Obama might name someone of the "Constitution requires what I think is good policy" school.

So, the Court we have as of Saturday is probably the Court we will have for the remainder of this presidential term.
