We are just one (or 2) justices away from leftist destruction. The next president will make this go one way or the other for many years.
I know we have had some disappointments from Republican appointed justices such as Roberts and Kennedy.
But, over the next four or eight years that the next president will be in office, there will be a number of Supreme Court vacancies.
Among the retirees will be Breyer, Bader-Ginsburg, Kennedy, and Scalia. These four are all getting up there in years, and virtually certain to retire in the next president’s term. Quite possibly they will retire in the first four years of whoever is elected president in 2016.
There are many other issues to consider in voting, but, given that the courts have devolved into a super legislature, and there appears to be no political will to do anything about this, it matters more than ever who is sitting in the Oval Office making these court appointments.
“Among the retirees will be Breyer, Bader-Ginsburg, Kennedy, and Scalia. “
I’d be surprised if Scalia waits. He has to figure that his staying on is pointless.
So, who will Hillary appoint? /S
