Assuming all Trump appts will act conservatively...

• Replacing Kennedy will probably tilt the court slightly to conservatives.
• Replacing Roberts or Thomas won't likely change the court.
• Replacing Ginsburg, Breyer, or Sotomayor could make the court conservative for decades.

• Ginsburg has had colon and pancreatic cancer. And seems to be getting increasingly sleepy at 85. The odds that she will make it through a second Trump term is low.
• Sotomayor has Type 1 diabetes. If they control it they can live pretty normal lives. But she appears a little overweight.
• Kagan has no known health issues.
• Breyer has no known health issues but is 79.
