RBG is 84 years old and weak, and if 81 year old Kennedy retires in the next year that is likely to bring President Trump to at least three nominees. I pray that he will get them all right. The Ctrl-Left never misses because most socialist judicial activists are easy to spot, but we sometimes choose a stealth liberal. Thank God President Trump is keeping his word on this important topic and seems to have gotten the first one right.
I’d like to see 69 year old Thomas and perhaps 67 year old Alito retire too, to guarantee that a patriotic American will nominate their replacements.
Breyer is 79, but I’m pretty confident he will not retire - he’s too political.
Thomas has indicated several times he’d like to retire.
The Rats won’t want any Trump judge appointed in the last year of his first term.
Saw Breyer in D.C. in public a few weeks ago. I also knew him back in the '90s. He looked worn out. That made me happy.
OTOH, he's always been powered by bitterness and smug self-righteousness even before the SCOTUS appointment, so he'll probably cling on forever.
RBG recently had pancreatic cancer and another cancer earlier in her life. She is a political cancer.
Ginsberg and Beyer aren’t going anywhere until they are both shovel ready project.
Maybe we got stealth liberal justices because we had stealth liberal presidents in the Bushes.
