When Reagan nominated Sandra Day O’Connor, he did not have a liberal Senate. It was a monumental mistake.
Their fear has a sweet aroma...
I would not be as optimistic. First, President Trump has to appoint an originalist. Among the judges in Donald Trump’s famous list of potential candidates, some are originalists, others are not. For example, Judge Hardiman, who is said to have been a finalist to replace Justice Scalia, is not.
Currently, there are only two originalists there: Justice Thomas and - hopefully - Justice Gorsuch. Justice Alito is reliable most of the time, but from what I have read he is not an originalist methodologically (Chief Justice Rehnquist was similar). We must not forget that the method is as important as the result if we want to prevent the Supreme Court from becoming a purely political body. Chief Justice Roberts is less reliable than Justice Alito and definitely not an originalist.
Bingo? That commie needs to go!

We always celebrate when something happens that the Washington Compost says is “terrible for the country”. :-)
Happy to see the anguish the dems are experiencing.
Another nice piece from the WAPo Stormfront. The muzzie bastard put a dyke and the la Raza klan member on the court and now a lib traitor might be replaced with a pro-American patriot.
If Kennedy retires, D.C. Should be avoided as surely the liberal nut jobs will be jumping out windows or crapping their britches.
Nahhh,
I don’t want Ruth to retire
I just want her to pass.

I must ask, since when is the Washington Post considered, ‘news’?
She wanted to hang on to insure that her replacement was picked by “the first woman president”.
Can you provide a source for that?
It “seems obvious upon casual observation” to me. Many others have come to the same conclusion.
Here is a strong hint in a Slate article.
And rejoice.
Not retire... CROAK!
Take every statement in this article, state the exact opposite - and you have THE TRUTH.
But he also gave us our 2nd amendment rights.
David Souter was another brilliant republican pick by Bush senior.
...and so safety the Washington Post. These days the OPPOSITE of what they “state” is true.
