The Supreme Court:                                                                  Back
 
   The court is made up of a Chief Justice and eight associate Justices all of whom are appointed by the President to serve a life term. Very few retire at a reasonably young age. (Once a justice, always a justice.)
 
Justice: Appointed by:
William H Rehnquist  Ronald Reagan (Republican)
John Paul Stevens  Gerald Ford (Republican)
Sandra Day O'Connor  Ronald Reagan (Republican)
Antonin Scalia  Ronald Reagan (Republican)
Anthony M. Kennedy  Ronald Reagan (Republican)
David H Souter  George Bush Sr. (Republican)
Clarence Thomas George Bush Sr. (Republican)
Ruth Bader Ginsburg  Bill Clinton (Democrat)
Stephen G. Breyer Bill Clinton (Democrat)
 
   The next President will probably a be appointing two justices. As you can see above the Court is overloaded with conservative justices. If George W. Bush gets to appoint these justices will Roe v Wade hold up or will be overturned? The anti choice movement has already been testing the waters & I'm sure they will keep on trying.
