President Barack Obama suggested he will appoint more than one additional Supreme Court justice before he leaves office.
Speaking at a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee on Friday in Massachusetts, Obama said Democrats need to maintain control of the Senate because a faction of the Republican Party only thinks in terms of ideology and power. He hinted that the ideological makeup of the Supreme Court may hang in the balance.
