Obama to discuss Supreme Court pick with party leaders

This article details President Obama’s decision to discuss who will be picked to fill the soon-to-be empty seat of Justice John Paul Stevens with Republican and Democrat leaders. Apparently phone conversations have been taking place as to who should be filling the vacancy with the Supreme Court and a decision as to who this person will be should be public knowledge by early May. As we have learned in our text, the justices in the Supreme Court are elected by the President of the United States and they can hold their position until either A) death, B) by resigning, C) impeachment and D) retirement. Also, the Supreme Court is the highest court in our country.
