Your comment makes the point about how important this election has become. There are two of the more liberal SC judges that are so old they are hanging on by a wisp. These will be replaced by the next POTUS. That man must be a Republican.
Problem, however, that senile 88-year old leftist John Paul Stevens WAS appointed by a Republican. McCain, faced with even larger rodent majorities in the next Congress, may only be “permitted” to appoint a similar-minded Constitution shredder. Republican Presidents have appointed their fair share of pretty horrific liberal activists. Stevens, Earl Warren, etc.
