>>a 5th Conservative Supreme Court Judge!!!!<<
You mean a 4th Conservative Justice, right? Alito, Kennedy and Thomas are the only ones we have now.

Roberts mostly sides with Conservatives except for Obamacare =P
#3rd, Kennedy is a squish.
Do you mean the same Justice Kennedy who wrote the opinion legalizing gay "marriage"? Doesn't sound Conservative to me.
Fact of the matter is, Roberts is to the right of center on most issues, but is not an originalist. His big Obamacare problem is that he was looking at his (or the Court's) legacy, not the Constitution or the law.
Kennedy is a libertarian, not a Conservative. As such, he substitutes his judgement for what the Constitution says. That is dangerous on the right or the left.
I hope that Trump can get at least one and hopefully 3 or 4 originalists on the USSC. If he can replace Scalia, Ginsberg, Kennedy and Bryer with younger originalists, we should have a fairly Conservative court for many years. A younger replacement for Thomas might be nice, too - but he is only 68.
