Every time a Justice steps down or dies politics get really interesting. The Supreme Court is meant to interpret the United States Constitution. By doing so it helps to keep the other two branches of the government, the Executive (the President) and the Legislative (Congress), in check.
Has there been a more interesting time for a Supreme Court Justice to die? As a nation we have almost a roulette situation on our hands. The feuding political parties could make it impossible for President Obama to get a nomination through the system before his term expires, and with presidential elections this November, the fight for president just became serious. Hopefully it will inspire people who don't normally vote to sign-up this year. This should be exciting.
