Trump has said he might be able to appoint “3 or even 4” justices. We currently stand at half that goal.
Thinking through things gives me this possibility. Trump will be able to replace a retiring/dead RBG. That makes one more. Kagan and Sotomayor are not in good health but I don’t think they will give up their spot easily. So, who is left?
All it will take is one “bad” vote against the DS for the “dirt” on CJustice Roberts to come out, he will thenceforth be identified as [CJR]. Given the right circumstances.
The following is of EXTREME IMPORTANCE:
US Constitution - When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court shall preside.
