The End of an Era: Justice Stevens Retires

As many had predicted, this term will be Justice Stevens's last on the Court.  The New York Times reports:
In a brief letter to President Obama, whom he addressed as “my dear Mr. President,” Justice Stevens said he was announcing his retirement now because he had “concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Court to have my successor appointed and confirmed well in advance of the commencement of the Court’s next term” in October.
Justice Stevens's early announcement will hopefully quell expressed concerns that the Senate would not be able to confirm a replacement Justice in time. But who will that Justice be? We leave that question to the comments...

  4. Greenaway doesn't have a chance in hell. However, it would be nice to see a brotha nominated...
