by naming Stern as the next Supreme Court Justice!!!
Strangely enough one does not have to be a judge to be named to the court. I think that's kind of a goofy rule myself, although perhaps they, our founders, were just putting more power into the hands of the people by opening the lifetime appointment to anyone the president and senate felt was deserving of the honor I guess.
I know one thing for sure, they weren't expecting any of this to rear its ugly head so soon in our young history meaning the outbreak of new millennium red plague right here in the good old USA
Who knows what green pasture is awaiting this man, because he wouldn't be leaving his SEIU cash cow for a broken down mule nor will he be empty handed with likely one of the most sweetest retirement packages known to working for a living mankind..
Union official: Stern to leave Service Employees:
"WASHINGTON (AP) - One of nation's most politically powerful—and polarizing—union leaders is preparing to step down from his post.
Andy Stern, president of the 2.2 million-member Service Employees International Union, plans to resign, a senior union official told employees in an e-mail on Monday.
The message from the official, Diane Sosne, was obtained by The Associated Press. She is a member of the union's board and president of an SEIU local based in Seattle.
SEIU spokeswoman Michelle Ringuette said only that Stern plans to address 'speculation' that he would leave his post later this week, at the close of the union's executive committee meeting.
Stern, 59, is one of President Barack Obama's closest political allies and a major force in Democratic politics. His union spent about $60 million to help Obama win the presidency and millions more on House and Senate races around the country.
He is also one of the most frequent visitors to the White House, showing up more than 20 times last year, according to official logs. Stern has served as a popular punching bag for conservatives who accuse him of using political largesse to push union causes like health care reform and stimulus spending.
Stern saw the passage of health care reform this year, one of his longtime goals, but failed to win legislation making it easier to organize unions."
