With all the news this week and the passing of Robert Byrd, a significant event occurred yesterday which will probably be overlooked. Martin D. Ginsburg, husband of Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away on Sunday, may he rest in peace.
The significance of this is that it is even more likely than it already was that Ruth Bader Ginsberg will soon step down from the Supreme Court. She too has been ill for some time and with her husband's passing it would not be a surprise if she left the court to spend more time with her family, she has two children and four grand children.
It would not surprise me if by the time he leaves office, Obama will have selected nearly half the Supreme Court, more if he is somehow elected to another term.
