Supreme Court Vacancy May Occur in Next Few Weeks
There may be a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court as early as the end of June, when the Suprme Court term ends. Lobbying has already begun:
Interest groups on the left and the right are beginning full-scale political campaigns — including fund-raising, advertising and major research — to prepare for what many expect to be a Supreme Court vacancy in the next several weeks. While none of the justices have said they plan to retire, any decision would traditionally be announced at the end of the court's term in late June.
Update: The New York Times has this graphic of the names and faces of those likely to be considered as Supreme Court nominees in the case of a retirement. [Via How Appealing]
