Well, if he replaces a lefty on the SC it’s a loss, but it’s not as bad as him replacing one of the four conservatives or swing voter Kennedy.
Ginsburg probably right after inauguration. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Kennedy is the other.
We must pray for our Chief Justice, our three conservative Justices, and Justice Kennedy. That they be blessed with good health, happiness, and not leave the Court during Zero.
There’s no rule that ‘9’ is the number of justices that should be the Supreme Court. Obama is not limited to replacing justices ... he can appoint 10 more justices and bump the number up to 19.
