Report: Trump Doesn’t Expect Ginsburg And Sotomayor To Make It Through His First Term
dailycaller.com ^ | 10/16/2017 | Thomas Phippen

President Donald Trump expects to nominate a total of four Supreme Court justices, claiming that three seats will likely become vacant during his first term, anonymous sources told Mike Allen of Axios.

Trump expects to fill the seats of Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Sonia Sotomayor in addition to nominating Neil Gorsuch, who Trump nominated to fill former Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat earlier this year. Scalia died in 2016, well before Trump took office.

I tend to agree but I’ll point out this...most folks with type 1 diabetes will pick out low-stress jobs and decrease their schedule as they get into their 60s.

On this anonymous source material....I’d suggest it’s all bogus and the conversation has never taken place.

I believe that Sotomayor has diabetes but that is not a death sentence if she keeps it under control. I am wondering if he met Breyer which is never mentioned and he is pretty ancient.

the best thing about Trump surprise election victory... Ginsberg didn’t retire because she thought Hillary was a shoe in !

ROFL

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yea, isn’t that hilarious

Ginsberg thought hitlery would be a shoe in, so she waited to retire so hitlery, the 1st lesbian president, could appoint her seat!

Ha, now, POTUS DJT will be appointing her seat. I find this so ironic and funny!

I am just waiting to hear Ginsberg announce her retirement. And I hope that POTUS DJT has someone more conservative than even Gorsuch waiting in the wings to take her seat.

Stephen Breyer is 79.

How much longer can he go?

Ginsburg is a mystery. I thought it was over for her when her husband died and then I thought it was completely over when Scalia died as they were best friends and she was pretty bummed about it. But alas, she still continues on. I don’t want her to die, just retire.

I am surprised she hasn’t keeled over already.

Maybe she has and we can’t tell. Dems probably have stuck a broom up under her robe to keep her from toppling over.

Even if you do everything the doctor says, if you have Type 1 diabetes (as you get older), the disease can cause blindness, kidney failure, and failure of the immune system.

You can start with an ingrown toenail that doesn’t heal, then the toe must be amputated, then the foot must be amputated, etc. Sores start appearing, won’t heal, etc. It’s not a lightning fast process, but dying from diabetes is a really UGLY painful way to go.

President Trump needs to ease up on using the time peering skill set (or device). Always amazes me when he says seemingly outlandish things out of the blue that later always comes true.

I think Ginsberg is already dead from the looks of her, but that’s news about Sotomayor.

Well, if “anonymous sources” say so, it must be true.

Don’t count your chickens just yet. She could live until 92 easily if Trump wins a second. We have no idea how long she or anyone has in this life. Then I wonder if Trump will be allowed to nominate a Supreme Court Judge from November 2019-November 2020 because of the new law that you can’t replace a judge the year before an election.

I’d like Clarence Thomas step down to put younger blood in there too. He’s served the country and constitution well. He deserves a rest
