Cruz seems to imply that the forthcoming vacancy will be one of the leftist justices.

The picture of Ginsburg falling asleep during the state of union speech comes to mind, but it could be someone else

This was absolutely the dumbest thing he could ever have said.

Forever tainted. What the hell was he thinking ??

The only way those leftist will retire is they will be hauled out

If it’s Ginburg, that young woman better be prepared to follow up on her promise to donate her own blood and body parts.

I thought they’d be replacing the eugenicist before the flip flopper.

The two hags that “Obama The Imposter” put on the Court will have to be replaced.

Either a lefty is dying, or its a Republican - they are the ones who would retire during a Republican Administration.

Kennedy is most likely (Gorsuch was his clerk/protege), or maybe Roberts has a skeleton in the closet, that he wants to keep there.

John G. Roberts (R), Chief Justice, 62
Anthony M. Kennedy (Rino), Associate Justice, 79
Clarence Thomas (R), Associate Justice, 68
Ruth Bader Ginsburg (D), Associate Justice, 84 on March 15th (has had colon cancer in 1999, Pancreatic cancer in 2009, and heart surgery in 2014).
Stephen G. Breyer (D), Associate Justice, 78
Samuel Anthony Alito (R), Jr., Associate Justice,, 66
Sonia Sotomayor (D), Associate Justice, 62
Elena Kagan (CPUSA), Associate Justice, 56

@POTUS should nominate 2 or 3 Supremes now for “pre-screenings”. Then when a justice retires, the Senate can just vote on 1 of them.

[wideminded]

Ginsburg has had a halting way of speaking in the last few years but I heard her again recently and that seems to have noticeably improved. Supposedly she works out with a trainer every day. She obviously has no plans to retire, although she must have been gambling on Hillary winning. The falling asleep thing might relate to her prior cancer treatment, which seems to have been effective. Clearly no one of that age can count on anything, but if Cruz has any inside information about this summer, it's probably about another justice.
