According to Politicalwire.com, the White House is preparing for two Supreme Court retirements.
Lawyers for President Obama "have been working behind the scenes to prepare for the possibility of one, and maybe two Supreme Court vacancies this spring," ABC News reports.
"Court watchers believe two of the more liberal members of the court, justices John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, could decide to step aside for reasons of age and health. That would give the president his second and third chance to shape his legacy on the Supreme Court."

If these retirements actually come to pass, Hillary and Deval Patrick would be great Supreme Court Justices. Hillary has already indicated that she most likely will not serve a second term as Secretary of State and Patrick was a deputy in the Clinton Justice Dept. Both should receive consideration and ultimate appointment.
