So it will be a 5-4 court with Kennedy as the swing vote. I see either Ginsberg or Jones leaving soon. 4-5 vote with Kennedy as the swing vote.
The restacking of the court alone will be quite the legacy for GWB. I also think the WH learned a lesson with Alito - hit for the fence in terms of conservatism. The Senate now knows how to defend a conservative, and the Democrats are so seriously on the intellectual defensive that it almost doesn't matter how far to the right you go anymore.
