AS I’ve said I do not want this SC to get another crack at the 2nd. the last one was 5-4 and the Kennedy was very wobbly. We need another Kennedy to retire but I get the feeling he does not want Trump replacing him. It’s a problem.
Kagan is in very poor health and Ginsberg is so old she sleeps through most hearings. Breyer is also unlikely to make it through Trump’s second term. Thomas has hinted that he doesn’t want to die in his seat and Kennedy has also hinted at retirement. So it’s possible that Trump could replace 5 more SC justices who will follow the Constitution.
“We need another Kennedy to retire but I get the feeling he does not want Trump replacing him”
Ginsburg and Breyer a week apart would work for me.
