(That’s Supreme Court Of The United States). Apropos of the discussion over at usuphilosophy.com, here is a NYT review of the decisions handed down over the last term. A leftish-leaning president cannot come fast enough!

In their recent comments both candiates agree on the court decisions, unless you believe that one or both are lying…
Ages of current justices:
Stevens 88
Ginsburg 75 (keep falling asleep during readings of decisions this week)
Scalia 72
Kennedy 71
Bryer 69
Souter 68
Thomas 60
Alito 58
Chief Justice Roberts …53If the justices retire by age, if anything the court will remain the same or gain more ‘swing voters’ a la Kennedy.
