Supremes are one of the major factor in my voting for Trump. Not just the current vacant seat, I'm counting on several more during Trump's 4/8 years.

I don't know who Trump will pick (even though I heard what he said during election), but I know I will be 100% AGAINST Hillary's choice(s).

I do admit that it’s stupid for Ruth Ginsberg to not have resigned.

I guess it will be Weekend at Bernies with RBG.

I heard Kennedy wants to retire.

If we got rid of Kennedy it will be more secure if Trump picks the right person.

Kagan and Sotomayor were 2 of the most radical appointments in my lifetime, I think we are safe with 8 years of President Trump and then 8 years of President Pence...

She ain’t so wise. Buzzi will drop dead any day and I think 1-2 others might retire.

Well I guess Sotomayor is going to be surprised.

I firmly believe that President Trump will get at least one more justice for the court. If you think the left are crazy now, that would totally unhinge them.

Good that she mollifies the crazies with this fantasy talk for now.

[Ginsberg can’t live forever.]

Didn’t she have pancreatic cancer years ago?? That’s often a inevitable death sentence!

If we can get Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer and Roberts to retire, the the Wise Latina and the Lesbian will be the only leftist on the court. That would be nice.

Not to wish harm on anyone, but who wants to place a bet on Ginsburg's longevity ON THE COURT? Who's the other liberal aside from 0bama's two usurpers?

(Also, although it would realistically never happen, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if Bush appointee Chief Justice Roberts, obviously compromised by blackmail on at least one front, (kids adopted illegally from Ireland), and possibly a second front, should be uh, leaned on to just go somewhere else and live on his alleged payoff money from the 0care deal.)

I believe the Court will get MUCH more conservative if the Repubs are forced to go nuclear on Gorsuch.

Once the genie is out of the bottle, they can pick anyone they choose for upcoming picks. If the Dems give in on Gorsuch, it would make it slightly more difficult to get a far-right guy when RBG goes away. (And when Kennedy goes away as well.)

She has had pancreatic and colon cancer. She is a tough broad. She needs to take her dissent collar and retire to New Zealand
