The POD is moving back the death of Antonin Scalia seven years. He passes away on Febuary 28th 2009. President Obama appoints Somia Sotomeyer and she is easily confirmed by the Senate. After the end of the Supreme Court's term in June 2009, David Souter retires and is replaced by Elena Kagan. In the 2010 Citizen Untied case, Justices Stevens, Ginsberg, Bryer, Sotomeyer and Kagan sign a decision that upholds restrictions on corparate political spending. After the end of the 2010 term John Paul Stevens retires and Diane Wood takes his place. In 2014, Justices Ginsberg, Breyer, Sotomeyer, Kagan and Wood agree in the Hoobby Lobby case that the corparation is required to follow the contraception mandate. In 2015's Obergefell vs Hodges, Justices Kennedy, Ginsberg, Breyer, Sotomeyer, Kagen and Wood over rule all laws banning same sex marriage. 2016 saw the liberal majority approves the decision that requires union non members pay fees to the union to cover the costs of collective bargaining, They also sustain President Obama's executive order protecting people brought to the country illegally as young children,
