This will be a big test for President Obama & the Democrats, *flashback*, President Obamam, VP Biden, & Sec of State H. Clinton tried to black the Alito appointment, let's see how the Democrats were with the Republicans.

NPR has learned that Supreme Court Justice David Souter is planning to retire at the end of the court’s current term…
Souter is expected to remain on the bench until a successor has been chosen and confirmed, which may or may not be accomplished before the court reconvenes in October.
At 69, Souter is nowhere near the oldest member of the court, but he has made clear to friends for some time now that he wanted to leave Washington, a city he has never liked, and return to his native New Hampshire.
