WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama and his vice president-elect Joe Biden were set to pay a courtesy call Wednesday to the Supreme Court's nine justices, the court said in a statement.

The private visit will give the president elect, a Harvard University law graduate and former constitutional law professor, a chance to visit the court and meet with its justices.

The court said Obama and Biden were coming "at the invitation of Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. and ... will join the Chief Justice and the Associate Justices in the ceremonial West Conference Room," at the private gathering.

It is just the third time, on the heels of Bill Clinton and Al Gore in 1992 and Ronald Reagan and George Bush senior in 1980 that the leaders of an incoming US administration pay a visit to the court ahead of taking their oath of office, the court said.

Obama may have the chance to name one or two justices to the high court.

Justices serve for life, or until they choose to step down, but John Paul Stevens, picked by Republican Gerald Ford, is 88 and could retire. Ruth Ginsburg, the only current woman justice, named by Bill Clinton, is 75 and also could retire in the next four years

I guess BO is just making sure that they are on the same page and the FIX is in!.
At this point I have ZERO respect for any of the DIS-HONORABLE justices in the highest court in the land, as well as the GUTLESS, SPINELESS Senators the have the GALL to say that they work for the good of people. DISGUSTING!!!. It sickens me to think that we are going to have watch BO and his thugs destroy this great country for the next 4+ years.

The only thing that gives me faith is, that GOD watches and he waits... I know he will never let us down!
