U.S. Supreme Court justices are not elected. They are appointed by the president and approved by a majority of the U.S. Senate. Although he is expert in constitutional law, it is doubtful that President Obama would ever want to serve on the High Court.
Supreme Court Justices do not necessarily have parties because they do not run for a political seat. The criteria for a supreme court justice has to be someone who is familiar with the law such as a former lawyer. If Supreme Court justices ran on a political platform that could complicate the position they hold because many political parties have money or a platform they run on.
It could because the run the world
One answer: Absolutely. The Supreme Court has no business interfering with Presidential Obama's appointments. President Obama may be forced to suspend the Constitution indefinitely if this interference persists. This is very likely if the Democrats don't hold the Senate and Harry Reid can no longer block the Republicans as he has been doing. Another answer: I fear the previous answer is sarcastic. No president wants to give up any power, and President Obama is no exception. But President Obama understands that America has three branches of government. He may find the current congress to be the most obstructive in perhaps 100 years, but he has no desire to suspend congress, nor could he do so even if he wanted to. The same is true of the Supreme Court-- he may disagree with their decisions, but the constitution says the judicial branch is the deciding body on various issues, and he respects that. So, no the president should not try to run the country without congress or the supreme court. That would violate the constitution, and there is NO evidence the president wants to violate the constitution (contrary to political rhetoric you may have heard on talk shows).
Yes. Barack Obama eventually won this campaign and became the 44th President of the United States.
The 'Supreme Court' is the highest court in the USA. The lower Courts in each county are usually known as a 'District Court'. The court that is run by the 'State' is higher than the County Court.

The Constitution for the US is a list of rules that was written when the US got its freedom from England and has helped us run our country ever since then. When ever someone disagrees with a law that was passed they take that law to the Supreme Court which looks over that law with the Constitution to see if it agrees with the Constitution.
No, they can only interpret the laws of the land. Someone has to keep the stoplights in working order!

Harding later nominated Taft as Chief Justice of the United States (Supreme Court), where he served from 1921-1930.Charles Evans Hughes resigned from the Supreme Court to run for President in 1916, but he was not Chief Justice and he was not elected President.
