Obama could alter stance of federal appeals courts (AP)

In this photo taken Oct. 8, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court justices pose for a group photo at the Supreme Court in Washington. Three justices will turn 80 before the next presidential term ends: Associate Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, right, who leads the closely divided court's liberal wing, Antonin Scalia, second from left, a conservative, and Anthony Kennedy, second from right, who leans conservative, but on some issues provides a decisive vote for the liberals. A titanic confirmation fight would ensue if it allowed a Republican president to cement conservative control of the court, or a Democrat president to give liberal appointees a working majority for the first time in decades. Others seated are Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, left, and Chief Justice John Roberts, center; standing from left are Associate Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer,  Samuel Alito Jr., and Elena Kagan.
