REPORT: POTUS Trump Privately Predicts He Will Appoint 4 Supreme Court Justices – ZINGS SOTOMAYOR
Gateway Pundit ^ | 06-27-2018 | Cristina Laila

On Wednesday, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced he will be retiring from the bench at the end of July.

Kennedy, 81, has been a noted swing vote on the court with his decisions often determine the deciding vote on a court split 4 to 4 between liberals and conservatives even though he was considered a conservative, having been appointed by President Reagan in 1987.

Sotomayor may already be experiencing ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease) from her diabetes .. if rumors are to be believed. If so, then significant cognitive decline is not only possible but highly probable. However, I do not see her leaving the bench whilst she still has a pulse ... a la Ruth Ginsberg.

I agree on Sotomayor, Ginsberg will hang on for a while, Breyer and Thomas. Thomas will only leave if the senate remains in our hands

Justice Thomas will be a great loss of a wonderful mind. I am happy for him.

I remember his nationally televised hearings. What an ordeal he was put through.

Yes but it’s in remission. I still think she will hang on for all it’s worth. She will survive on pure hatred

Sotamayor wouldn’t resign. Even if her diabetes advances so far that she has to drive in via a motorized Rascal because her calves become the size of fire extinguishers, she’ll do it. “From Hell’s heart, I spit at thee!”

Excellent point. I’d hate to see a placeholder 60+ judge be appointed, no matter how good he/she is.

I’ll go out on a limb and say Trump will nominate Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy.

He should have a little fun and proclaim that he may seat 5 over the next 12 years.
