‘Ahh, but as I said yesterday, I don’t believe Trump will get the chance. These craggers won’t retire if they don’t like him. They’ll wait for a Democrat.”

Kennedy was a Reagan appointee, he’s almost 81, and he’s indicated he may want to retire.

Ginsberg is 84, and not in good health. She may now see the handwriting on the wall and leave because now she knows she’s in a permanent minority.

Breyer is 78 so he’s also “in the window” for either retiring or dying on the job.

Beyond that, Thomas and Alito are in their late 60’s so they will stay on for at least another ten years. So it’s really important to get the three “liberals” replaced now so no matter who follows Trump, they will not be able to affect the balance on the Court.
Now, it remains for the SCOTUS to actually get down to business and rule on the 2A and a bunch of other stuff that they’ve left around festering. They need to be as active at their jobs as is our president, and not just picking at judicial scabs, but rather doing their whole jobs.

Sooner or later, we all have to look at the wall.
