A McCain Court Could Overturn Roe In "Maybe A Year"

You know what they say: You can pick your nose, you can pick your friends, and you can also pick the next three justices to sit on the Supreme Court. It's true — whomever is elected president will almost certainly change the makeup of the court. President Bush has swung the court firmly to the right by appointing John Roberts and Samuel Alito to replace William Rehnquist and legendary swing-vote Sandra Day O'Connor. Today that balance is less tenuous, with four conservative justices (add Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia), and the presumably impending departure of long-serving members Ruth Bader-Ginsburg, 75, and John Paul Stevens, 88. Both Stephen Breyer and Anthony Kennedy will be in their 70s when the next president is sworn in; so will Scalia, but Thomas will have only just turned 60 and Roberts and Alito will both be in their 50s. Whoever takes the White House may well be appointing multiple members to the highest bench in the land (that is, unless Bush gets any more kicks at the can). Either way, the makeup of the Court is likely to change significantly in the short term — with significant ramifications for the long term.
