Democrats and liberals have a nightmare vision of the Supreme Court's future: President Obama is defeated for re-election next year and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, at 78 the oldest justice, soon finds her health will not allow her to continue on the bench.
The new Republican president appoints Ginsburg's successor, cementing conservative domination of the court, and soon the justices roll back decisions in favor of abortion rights and affirmative action.

Big meals do that to me, too.
Hang on 18 months sweetheart. Hang on.
The senario listed above is a dream come true for me. Ruth Bader Ginsburg being replaced by a Republican President who defeats Barack Obama would make me and many others want to break out the champagne.
This may also indicate that liberals are trying to gently nudge Ginsburg to retire this year so that Obama can appoint her successor.

That said, while she has been a reliable left winger, dems have never been happy with the fact, that she is also the dumbest of the left wingers on the court.
Basically, they want her to vote the way she votes, but keep her mouth shut, lest she (continue) to embarrass herself.
Sidenote: Her closest friend on the court happens to be Scalia.....go figure.
She is 78. God may decide to retire her at any time.
That'd give Obama a chance to appoint 3 new, quite younger, equally Stalinist, Justices.
Of course the Democrats are running out of Leftwingtards who actually want to be on the Supreme Court!
All of these things will come to pass the day after the next Presidential inauguration ~ when a Republican looks around to appoint their replacement, as well as Justice Kennedy's and that Breyer guy might just leave anyway if he has to work with 8 Conservatives.
If something happened expect a ‘Weekend @ Bernie’s’ moment.
I’m only 55 ... every day above ground is a gift.
Everyday is a potential game changer with the Supreme Court
TT
think they are indispensable and ONLY they can handle that job...
just like the two brain injured Congress members, why give up the great perks...
oh yes and they are both Democrats.. what a world we live in...
hurry up 2012
Here’s another aspect of the Supreme Court drama. DemocRATS sound like they’re nervous.
If I was Ruth Buzzi, I'd start paying someone to taste my food and drink for me. And she may not want to schedule any midnight picnics in Ft. Marcy Park.
Usually, what Urkel wants, Urkel gets.
Please wait until we have a conservative administation and house of congress
Good, I hope she hangs on until Obama is out of office.
After 0bama is defeated in 2012, she will retire in favor of a lame duck appointment.
