So, we all think that Ginsburg is the next to go, no pun intended, whether she’s taken out on a gurney or just gets too sick to do the job. If that happens anytime soon, the President will replace her, obviously. If he does that, he has a 5-4 court. I say that because there is no way anyone can say that Roberts is on the same team as Thomas, et al. If he is re-elected, God willing, Thomas can bounce safely as he’ll be replaced by someone in his mold. And I think we could definitely see Breyer hand in his paperwork given his age and there’s no way for the court to issue a decision for the Left. Then Sotomayor has some legit health issues, as well.
It’s amazing to think that, if he’s re-elected, President Trump could leave office with a 7-2 Supreme Court. All of them young. No telling what would go down in this country then. I do think it would drive the Left to make some really dumb and violent decisions.
I’m more excited about the prospect of Trump nominating conservative originalists judges in all of the lower federal courts if he’s re-elected. Less than 1% of the court cases appealed are heard by the Supreme Court. Those lower bench appointments are absolutely critical.
