WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, the
court's oldest member and leader of its liberal bloc, says he is
retiring when the court finishes its work this summer. The move gives
President Obama his second high court opening to fill. His
announcement had been hinted at for months. It comes 11 days before
his 90th birthday.
