With Justice Kennedy’s departure, the court is very likely to lock in an unmoderated, hard-right majority for the rest of most of our lives.

Roberts is still a weak link that they had something on. Unless Trump has neutralized that, he will shift to being the swing vote that the left focuses on in every important decision. Replace RBG, and that will bring a true conservative majority. Soon, Thomas will want to retire, we will need to retain a Senate majority for when that happens. Breyer may retire soon, and I have read Sotomayor’s health is bad from diabetes. During Trump’s two terms, he may get 6 SC appointments.
