Roy Moore really put them in a tight spot.
Be still my beating heart!
Based on her dissension on the EO immigration/Visa ban, I would think she could be forced out for mental instability.
Not sure the thinking on diabetes being grounds for throwing her off the bench.
Let’s hope the bull dyke and/or wise latina are included.
A couple of years ago, there were rumors that SJ Thomas was wanting to retire.
It is difficult to know whether that was just wishful thinking on the part of the Left.

If another opening occurs, you want bet the farm that the Dems/Media and some of the GOPestablishment will be pushing for a ‘like’ justice. That is, they would demand a left-leaning justice be appointed — for fairness, of course.
I’d like to see Alito replaced as he is 68 years old. If I were Trump, I’d replace everyone of them but Gorsuch. I think he really needs to bring in Thomas, Alito, and the other dude and tell them it is time to go for the good of the country. Then replace with under 45 year old judges. We have got to play long term. It was STUPID to put Alito on the court at such an old age. We need judges on the court for 50 years to stop liberals from getting a chance to replace. We will NOT always have a Republican President or Senate. Let’s be smart for a change.
When this happens, don’t walk under or near any tall buildings, as libtards all over the nation will be on suicide watch and throwing themselves out of windows.
Not that that’s a bad thing, mind you...
They’re looking for their patsy even now.
Trump will leave office having made no fewer than five SCOTUS appointments.
That would be amazing but its kind of a stretch..Ginsberg I can see that happening for sure since she looks like she has a foot and a half in the ground already..Sotomayor because of diabetes, that is a stretch..but Ginsberg I can see her leaving for sure
Don’t know if it will be in his first term, but the very real possibility that Trump could replace 3 or 4 justices was always real... and honestly number could be higher.
Breyer and Ginsberg are high probability of one if not both retiring or passing prior to 2023.
Sotomayor’s health could very well prevent her from reaching there too (no guarantees, but she’s already 64 and living with a chronic illness whose life expectancy for a female is 68. Given she will have the best health care money can buy, she should almost certainly beat the average life expectancy, but health issues could force her to retire prior to 2023 anyway.
Thomas may choose to retire as well, while only 70 currently, health and desire to enjoy a few years not working, and knowing that Trump would be who replaces him vs the most likely odds his successor which would likely be a democrat, (based on historical reality that few presidents pass the white house on to their own party) he may retire during the Trump Administration as well.
Now it is possible that Ginsburg holds on to 2023 or Breyer, but odds of both? Probably very low. Ginsburg’s health has been poor for a very long time now... My guess would be these two will hold on until the 2020 election, in hopes that Trump is beat of R’s lose the Senate.. presuming God doesn’t end their terms prior. After that however, I would expect 1 if not both to retire... Ginsburg likely will die on the Supreme Court, or have to be forcibly removed due to incapacity.... She has publicly stated so many things over the years on the record that I just don’t see here vacating as long as she knows R’s will name her replacement. Breyer, not so much... He’ll hold on in hopes of a power shift, but if it doesn’t happen, I would expect him to retire.
Time will tell how it all plays out, but it is not beyond the realm of possibility that by the end of the Trump administration we will have 8 of the 9 Supreme Court Justices as folks who follow the constitution and the rule of law.... and no replacements likely to be named for 2-3 presidents barring an unexpected death.
They will wheel Ginsberg’s dead corpse into chambers before they let her resign.
While that is possible, I lengthen it to his eight year term.
In his two terms he may appoint as many as five new justices.
Each of Obama’s appointments he replaces will do serious harm to the Leftist efforts to destroy our republic.
If he replaces five, our nation will likely be safe for many years to come. It will have rolled back the attempt to destroy the United States as we know it.
Wagons ho...
Be still my heart.
Hey, why not five?!
Roll back abortion and homosexual “marriage” to the states. The feds have no business in those areas anyway.
My guess 3 or 4 by his SECOND term.

If President Trump replaces 3 or 4 justices, in my view he would have the same standing as Lincoln saving our country
