By Susan Brinkmann, OCDS Staff Journalist The oldest member of the Supreme Court, Justice John Paul Stevens, 89, has indicated in a recent interview that he will decide in the next month if he will quit the bench at the end of this term. Townhall.com is reporting that in an interview with New Yorker Magazine that will appear in the March 22 issue, Justice Stevens said he will definitely retire within the next three years and is currently pondering on whether to retire at the end of this term. In any case, he believes it will be President Barack Obama who nominates his successor. “I have a great admiration for him, and certainly think he’s capable of picking successfully, you know, doing a good job of filling vacancies.” Stevens said. “You can say I will retire within the next three years. I’m sure of that.” Stevens was nominated by President Gerald R. Ford in 1975 and is the leader of the court’s liberals. Turning 90 in April, he is the second oldest justice in U.S. history. The oldest was Oliver Wendell Holmes who retired in 1932 at age 90 years, 10 months. © All Rights Reserved, Living His Life Abundantly®/Women of Grace®  http://www.womenofgrace.com
