Some people have already said that they won’t vote for the
Republican nominee if the eventual nominee is not the man they wanted.
I just want to put something in perspective.
Justice Scalia’s seat is presently vacant. Decisions are being decided with 8 votes. I believe there have been some non-decisions already because of ties. In the case of the U. S. Supreme court, such a split decision, or tie, automatically affirms the decision of the (Appellate) Court beneath it.
We haven’t heard much about this lately because the news cycle is rarely more than 96 hours - unless, of course a drug-abusing entertainer dies, then... But I digress.
Justice Ginsberg is 82 years old
Justice Kennedy is 79
Justice Breyer is 77
Justice Thomas is 67.
Current data shows that the average age of a Supreme Court Justice
retirement or death occurs after 75.
These are 5 vacancies that will likely come up over the next 4-8
years. The next President will have the power to potentially create a
7-2 Supreme Court skewed in their ideology.
Think about that... 7-2. If the next President appoints 5 young
justices, it will guarantee control of the Supreme Court for an entire
generation. And 7-2 decisions will hold up much more over time than
5-4 decisions which are viewed as lacking in mandate.
Hillary has made it clear she will use the Supreme Court to go after
the 2nd Amendment. She has literally said that the Supreme Court was wrong in its Heller decision, stating that the Court should overturn and remove the individual right to keep and bear arms. Period.
Anyone and Everyone who is saying that they won’t vote for one
candidate or the other if they are the GOP nominee, please realize
this.
If Hillary Clinton wins and gets to make these appointments, you
likely will never see another conservative victory at the Supreme
Court level for the rest of your life. Ever.
Whoever is the GOP nominee ... VOTE for the GOP Nominee!
Remember Romney? Three million conservatives who had voted for McCain did not cast a vote for Romney (for whatever reason) .... and the result was four additional years of B.H.O.
AND ONE FINAL THOUGHT , she’s already on the record as saying that her buddy, B.H.O. “would make a great Supreme Court Justice.”
I don’t know whether to scream or puke. Or both.
I hear ya...good perspective.
