The financial crisis that is so obvious to all of us is no more important than the one we will soon face if the Supreme Court  continues on its current course.

What follows is a list of our current Justices with their birth dates.  Barack Obama has at least four years.  It is the duty of those who want to see our country progress, to resign, as soon as possible.    Forget cancer diagnoses - look at the BIRTH DATES of theses justices!  It is time for many of them to move on!   At their ages they wouldn't even be able to work at Barnes & Noble!

I hear all the time how hard it is to be a justice; how "packed" their schedule is.  Frankly, I find it hard to believe.   They have so many people helping them they don't even have to read any more.  How many people still work at GM, in hospitals, or even AIG with birth dates like these!  Hard?   I wonder if they even know what "hard" is.

What I do know is that  Barack Obama's time in office is limited, and  the justices who have progressive viewpoints  simply must realize that it is time for their sinecure to end.

These are the birthdays ( and some pretty eye-opening inventions and events that occured during the year of their births)  of the current Supreme Court Justices.  Do you think any of these people are past their due date?

John Roberts :  January 27,  1955  (Tetracycline, and optical fibers)

John Paul Stevens:  April 20, 1920  (the same year that BandAids were invented)*

Antonin Scalia:  March 11, 1936  (The Artificial Heart [sorry, antonin; there is no substitute for the real thing!])*

Anthony Kennedy:  July 23, 1936   (Bell labs invents voice recognition machine)*

David Souter:  September 17, 1939 (the electron microscope is invented)*

Clarence Thomas: June 23, 1948  (Believe it or not, VELCRO was invented, and the Wurlitzer Juke Box)***

Ruth Bader Ginsberg:  March  15,  1933   (FM Radio and stereo invented)*

Steven Breyer:  August  15, 1938  (Ladislo Boro invents the ball point pen)*

Samuel Alito:  April 1, 1950  (the first credit card!)

* All these people would have retired from any job that was 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year; these people need to leave.
***He needs to leave because he hates his job; he hates everyone, and has a major axe to grind; he never should have gotten in.  Why should he care?  He has free health care forever, and a great pension -- just let it go, Clarence!  Your life will be unaffected anyway.


Those justices who acknowledge that their decisions matter have the duty to resign.   Time has moved on, and they are flirting with disaster if they continue on and on and on.  They surely have a duty to see beyond their own narcissistic needs.
