P.S. IF Cruz is elected, you can bet that the liberals on the SC will die before they let Cruz upset the balance of power that the liberals have enjoyed for the past 75 years.

Well, there ARE some very OLD “liberals” on the Supreme Court and, you’re right, I wouldn’t expect them to retire a minute before they took their last breath as long as Cruz was President. But their last breaths will come, in God’s time.

And how many many would out wait a prez Trump? Of course Cruz would nominate conservatives. Trump not so much.
Four justices are near or over 80; two liberals, Breyer and Ginsberg, swing vote Kennedy, and conservative Scalia. Of them Ginsberg is said to often fall asleep during arguments and is somewhat frail. So it is possible that the next president could appoint up to 4 SC justices.
