Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court gather for a group portrait at the Supreme Court in Washington on Oct. 8, 2010. Seated from left are Associate Justices Clarence Thomas, and Antonin Scalia, Chief Justice John Roberts, Associate Justices Anthony M. Kennedy, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Standing, from left are Associate Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito Jr., and Elena Kagan. The nine justices of the Supreme Court, who serve without seeking election, soon will have to decide whether to insert themselves into the center of the nation’s presidential campaign next year. The high court begins its new term Monday, Oct. 3, 2011, and President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, which affects almost every American, is squarely in its sights.
