Future Supreme Court Shift After White Retirement
The retirement of Justice Byron R. White this summer opens a path for President Clinton to appoint a liberal or moderate successor, likely strengthening abortion rights and nudging the court’s balance. The so called gang of three moderates O Connor Kennedy and Souter may gain influence as a new coalition member aligns with them on divisive issues. The current liberal bloc and moderates already joined to uphold abortion rights and restrict school prayer. The outcome hinges on the new appointee and how it reshapes the 5-4 majority.
