Remember, the next President will likely have at least one, maybe two, opportunities to nominate a Justice to the U.S. Supreme Court. And we now know what qualities Barack Obama would look for in such a potential Justice. Here is a recording from an interview Obama gave to Chicago Public Radio in 2001 where he says it was a tragedy the Supreme Court didn’t tackle the issue of redistributing wealth.

UPDATE: Some Obama supporters are emailing saying that Obama’s message wasn’t focused on wanting the Supreme Court to address wealth redistribution, but rather that the civil rights movement didn’t do enough to enable legislation that would redistribute wealth. If that’s the case, I don’t think I’m any more comforted in the thought the Obama thinks we should use the legislative branch of government to redistribute the wealth of hard-working Americans to those he and his friends Pelosi and Reid think are more deserving.
