Justice Kennedy, who turns 74 this month, has told relatives and friends he plans to stay on the high court for at least three more years – through the end of Obama’s first term, sources said.

Well now, that is good news.

FTA:
Obama certainly reveled in his prime-time, televised, cheap-shot attack at jurists who couldn’t fire back. Samuel Alito took fire from the media for having just mouthed a rebuttal. The only revenge any of them can take is to make sure that they stay in place until Obama leaves office. The “at least” part of the report almost certainly means that retirement at 80 may be just as possible as retirement at 76. After all, John Paul Stevens didn’t decide to retire until he was almost 90 years old.
Perhaps the timing is just a coincidence and Kennedy didn’t have plans to retire any earlier even prior to the 2008 election. However, this looks more like a quiet revenge, and a reminder to Obama that Kennedy will likely remain relevant longer than the President.
Don't mess with old men. :D :D
Old age and treachery always overcome youth and skill.

Being an SC Justice is like being the Pope. No one walks away from that much power. O'Conner and Souter are the last two I can remember who retired. The rest were taken out in body bags.

Wasn't it Grishams "The Pelican Brief" where they BG's knocked off a non-sympathetic SC Justices to suit their needs?
