My 16 week 2302 students are going to begin looking at the judiciary this week and an editorial (which is admittedly biased and pointed, though still useful), reminds us of a reality of the upcoming election - one that is rarely at the centerpiece of elections. There are three judges over the age of 75, and the next president may get to replace them all. Of course some work until they are in their 90s, so this is no guarantee this will happen.
The greater point is that elections help determine what direction the federal courts take. Read the editorial, as well as any other items you find useful, describe and comment on this issue.
