Supreme Court Justice David Souter to Retire
Supreme Court Justice David Souter is planning to retire at the end of the current court term, giving President Obama his first opportunity to appoint a member to the high court. While appointed by George H.W. Bush, Souter generally voted with the court's more liberal wing. Many observers expect President Obama to appoint a woman, though it is unlikely that his pick would change the Supreme Court's ideological makeup. Larry Mantle talks about Justice Souter's tenure and the future of the court with constitutional law experts Erwin Chemerinsky, John Eastman, Vikram Amar, Meir Feder, and LA Times reporter David Savage.
