If Ginsburg retires, it swings the Court to seven (cases can be decided by a 4-3 majority) thereby taking the urgency of replacing off the table. She’ll hang on.
Now I’m going to put on my asbestos here...cause I know the flames are going to come. But (not knowing the wide field of judicial candidates already sitting on benches across the country) the first name that comes to my mind as a STRONG Constitutionalist is Sen Ted Cruz. He’s a young man...four or eight years in the White House can do a lot—but THIRTY years on the SCOTUS would, IMO, do much more for the Country.
Just my two cents. An “r” wins and nominates Cruz (from some sort of back room deal they looks at the big picture—keep the Senate R and take the WH). That’s why the backbiting and middle school antics of ALL last night (exceptions for good behavior for Dr Carson and Gov Kasich) was so infuriating.
Serving thirty days -- let alone thirty years -- on a court with fellow justices like those dingbats Sotomayor and Kagan would be like spending time in a Turkish prison.
where do you get the sense that Roberts is voting against the libs?
Have you not seen his support for liberal antics?
Good Grief, he and Kennedy are dependable swing voters who cannot be relied upon.
The fix is in, and Gingsburg is the key.
