If Ginsburg retires - and I think she will - that will put real pressure on the GOP to fill at least one of the two openings, but they should still stick with one of the two. That would give Obama three appointments to the court during his term, which is certainly enough. It might be a rallying point for the Dems in this election cycle, but I just can't see a majority of Americans getting fired up about this. I think enough Americans hate Obama that the GOP can come out relatively unscathed.

I think you’re right, I expect Ginsburg to retire within the next few weeks, for that exact reason.
