I agree with him. I said months ago that when Kennedy retires Roberts would become the swing vote. Kennedy took Sandra Day O Connors place as swing voter. I could already see Roberts positioning himself
That’s why we need 2 more, not one. Replace Kennedy and one of the libs and it’s game over. No more swing vote, so whoever is inclined to be the swing vote will naturally want to be on the majority and all the votes will be 6-3. Some of the libs might even get tired of always losing, and we would get lots of 7-2 votes.
