AND for the first time since the United States of American was founded, there is not a single Protestant on the Supreme Court.
???
I’d be happy with a Court made up of nine Catholics in the mold of Justice Thomas all the live long day!
The next President will likely get to appoint 3 Justices - Ginsburg, Breyer? or even Scalia or Kennedy. Which of them retires will depend on who wins, but Ginsburg is old. The other 3 could hold on, but if Romney takes a second term he’ll get all three for a total of four nominations.
It would be smart for conservatives to start looking for 3 Thomases who can survive the confirmation process. Liberals will fight like mad, but if you can appoint the right Justices, the Court will then be solidly conservative for more than a generation.
