like in post #102, it might be a good preemptive strike to goto 11 if we do get a 7-2 court so a 15 court won't be as likely to be hurt us

The White House on Friday announced the addition of five new names to President Trump’s list of potential Supreme Court nominees. ...
Two of the latest candidates, Judge Amy Coney Barrett and Judge Kevin C. Newsom, were both nominated to their current positions by Trump in May, according to the White House.
Barret serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit and Newsom serves on U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, the statement said. The White House announced both nominations in May.
Also on the list are Justice Britt C. Grant of the Supreme Court of Georgia, Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and Justice Patrick Wyrick of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma.
The update comes amid ongoing rumors that Justice Anthony Kennedy, 81, who has served on the court for more than 20 years, is considering retirement.
A potential announcement by Kennedy could come after Thanksgiving, according to Fox News’ John Roberts

If we end up with a 7-2 court or something....it would be great. However, if the Dems get back into power, I can see the court going to 15 justices just to screw with us. They are evil and would do this in a heartbeat.
The more I think about this the more I believe President Trump will hold Sykes in reserve to replace Ginsberg, as perhaps it should be...
The dems and eGOP will most likely insist upon a die hard liberal leftist for the position.
It’s going to be an uphill battle, lets hope and pray Trump’s nominees are approved.

ROTFLOL!
We owns the presidency.
All the court stackings are belong to us!
“Ginsberg is on her last leg”! That may be true, but she isn’t about to retire. She will die before that ever happens.
I’m sorry but “Team Mitch” isn’t going to give Pres. Trump anything more...it’s war now...
They were DISGUSTING and it has been hard to remain friends with a few except to NOT talk politics.
ENEMIES of the state just like dems, if you ask me
And hey George Will, go #### yourself you fraud.
Trump needs Cruz in the Senate and he knows it.
“Ginsberg is on her last leg.”
Why. . .she gets enough rest while sleeping during oral arguments.
Too old
I have been saying this is why Mitch has his panties in a wad about Judge Moore.
Judge Moore will vote for whomever PDJT sends up and the prospect of a 6 to 3 court, (and if Ginsberg leaves or? then it is 7 - 2) scares da-bajeezis out of the swamp, because it will change the face of America for the next 2 generations and they can't have it.
No I am not tired of winning!
McConnell is still foot dragging on bringing about votes for Trump’s judicial nominees. He made a SHOW of bringing 5 votes in a week’s time — then he put the Senate back into neutral gear on the confirmation vote front.
Hey Frank, you’re wasting your time and hands. About 80 years too late.
Try Kagan. Heard she used to wait tables at Hooters in her youth. Old wait, there WAS NO Hooters in her youth. It was just an “all you can eat Dinosaur buffet”.
The “wise Latina” can exit, too.
I’m pulling a blank - who do you mean?
Sotomayor. Remember when she said she was qualified for the Supreme Court because a “wise Latina” is smarter than a white man?
Oh yes, I had forgotten that, thanks. Yes, she needs to go as well. I would love to have all the libs out of the SC and the new SC to be heretofore referred to as The Trump Court, lol.
OK IM GOING TO BE BLUNT
I WANT A WHITE CHRISTIAN MALE EVANGELICAL HARD RIGHT JUDGE
ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME
THE ENTIRE COURT IS JEWISH OR CATHOLIC
ALL THE WOMEN ARE LEFTIES
ALL THE JEWISH JUDGES ARE LEFTIES
ALL THE MINORITY JUDGES EXCEPT SAINT CLARENCE OF SAVANNAH ARE LIBTARDS
I WANT TO BE REPRESENTED
And yes it damn well matters
A southern evangelical male is highly unlikely to leave the reservation once appointed in this age
