Very good article on state of Supreme Court (and how things have changed over years)

"The net outcome of a Ginsburg retirement would be to put the Supreme Court front and center in the Fall campaign, possibly even overshadowing the economy. On the whole, such a development would help the Democrats, who would rather have the election be about the culture wars than about the weak economy. But all this depends on Ginsburg, of course, and how much she fears Romney replacing her. Of course, like the young invincibles who don't have health insurance, don't want it, and certainly don't want the federal government forcing them to get it, she may think she will last forever (or at least until 2017). But she knows better. It will interesting to watch what she does this year. It could have a big effect on the election".
