there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

It's also important to note that this Judge retired to senior status in 2013 so his replacement was appointed by Obama more than 10 years ago. His resignation is not creating an opening on the court.
