Right now Clarence Thomas is the only conservative on the supreme court.

Alito, Roberts, and Rehnquist are various degrees of right of center to dead center.

Kennedy is left of center.

Meanwhile the rest are radical leftists - Ginsberg, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Breyer.

So you have 4 arch-leftists and one true conservative on the court. Trumps first pick would make it 2 conservatives, but replacing Scalia is just maintenance, not a pickup that moves the court to the right.

Fortunately for us, the 3 oldest justices are flaming libs.

Ginsberg is 83, Kennedy is 78, and Breyer is 76.

So replacing any or all of them with originalist constitutional conservatives moves the court to the right. We would need to replace ALL of them to have any hope of overturning Roe v. Wade. If Trump gets 8 years, he will have 5 or 6 years to place SCOTUS justices before the Dems start filibustering him at the end of his term.

Ginsberg would be 89, Kennedy 84, and Breyer 82. So it is not completely impossible that any or all of these commie libs could be replaced.

Prayers up all these cretins leave or die while Trump has the power to replace them, and hopefully with fairly young people. I mean, Kagan is 55. She is going to be on the court forever. I will be disappointed if Trump picks people in their 70s. Here is hoping he picks people under 60 so that are there for a long, long time.

Correction, Kennedy is not a flaming lib, but my point still stands. Replacing flaming libs Ginsberg and Breyer, as well as left of center Kennedy with constitutional conservatives, does stack the court in our favor and would produce years of rulings on par with the intent of the Constitution.

That was my poing.

Rehnquist died in 2005.
