Put Hillary in charge of appointing 4-6 Supreme court justices

Six Supreme Court nominations? Do you expect the Ebola virus inflict two-thirds of SCOTUS?

It's this kind of hyperbole that makes those trying to scare conservatives into voting for RINOs look foolish.

What you don't seem to understand is that RINOs like Giuliani give us equally bad judges as Democrats -- from John Paul Stevens to David Souter.

And, with a shrinking Republican minority in Congress, there isn't any chance Giuliani would expend political capital fighting for conservative judges.

But, a Giuliani Presidency guarantees a conservative President wouldn't be nominating judges until at least 2016.

Nope, no ebola... OLD AGE.

Go look at the court.

Given that odds are someone who wins the white house way way way more often than not gets a second term, add 8 years to the ages of the justices.

Breyer: 70 by the time the next pres takes office
Thomas: 60 when next pres takes office (sadly statistically african americans don’t live as long)
Ginsberg: 75 by 1/09
Alito: 58 by 1/09
Kennedy: 72 by 1/09
Stevens: 88 by 1/09
Roberts: 53 by 1/09
Scalia: 72 by 1/09
Souter: 69 by 1/09

Within 8 years of 1/09 that date 4 to 6 of these guys will statistically be dead or retired. The only 2 on the court who statistically are not likely to be dead are Alito and Roberts, and an outside on Thomas.

That’s reality, doesn’t take ebola, its called Old Age.
