The nation faces the strong likelihood of one or more US Supreme Court Justices retiring in the next few years, perhaps beginning as soon as this summer. This uncertainty follows a period of remarkable stability in the makeup of the Court - 11 years with no turnover. This is a critical time to explore what the consequences will be of one or more new Justices. What volatile issues - such as abortion, affirmative action, gay rights, the juvenile death penalty - will be open for reconsideration?
