Anybody tired of winning yet?
Kagan is no longer a reliable liberal. She’s no conservative, but she’s not rabidly liberal like Sotomayor and Ginsbgurg. Kagan did not side with Sotomayor and Ginsburg on Masterpiece Cake Shop and she wrote the opinion of the Court in Lucia v. SEC.
It would firm up the 5-4, reducing the 4-5 decisions when Kennedy flips. It won’t be until Ginsburg (85) or Breyer (79) that it will be 6-3. Or if both retire while Trump is still in office and Repubs hold Senate majority, it would be 7-2.
No - the current Court is as follows:
Anthony Kennedy (Ronald Reagan)
Clarence Thomas (George H.W. Bush)
John Roberts (George W. Bush)
Samuel Alito (George W. Bush)
Neil Gorsuch (Donald Trump)
Stephen Breyer (Bill Clinton)
Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Bill Clinton)
Sonia Sotomayor (Barack Obama)
Elena Kagan (Barack Obama)
