Trump may not be done shaping the Supreme Court in his image
Market Watch ^ | October 10, 2018 | Paul Brandus

If you are a Republican and a Trump lover, I’m going to tell you something that will absolutely thrill you.

If you are a Democrat and a Trump hater, I’m going to tell you something that will absolutely terrify you.

And that is: After putting two conservatives on the Supreme Court in 20 months—Neil Gorsuch and now Brett Kavanaugh—President Trump could easily get one, perhaps even two more chances to make his mark on this third branch of the federal government, even if he serves just one term in office....

President Trump may reshape the Supreme Court as much as FDR did, although in the opposite ideological direction.

I think Ginsburg will try to hold on until another Dem is president.

Ginsburg will stay on the Court until she is dead.

Thomas is my favorite Justice & the one I am closest to ideologically, albeit he is to my left :-)

Ginsburg can’t last long, she looks terrible.
Breyer is 80, Sotomayor is only 64 but diabetic.
3 more is well within reason for two terms.
Four if Thomas decides to retire.

Every conservative judge who is faithful the Constitution will overturn Roe. Anyone who is not is putting politics first.

Interesting about the tradition. Have not hear that before. So Garrick was just following established tradition?

The Left tried to ruin Kavanaugh, I can’t imagine what they’ll try next time. It’s getting scary.

“John Paul Stevens stayed on the bench until he was 90 and is still alive and kicking at 98. Ginsburg and Breyer may not be going anywhere soon.”

Corrected: ....and kicking at 98, but brain dead like Jimmuh Cartar. Ginsburg and Breyer may not be going anywhere soon unless Satan calls them home.

I’m looking forward to Schumer and other Dems rolling out that tired the trope - not in the mainstream - and to see how many more picks Trump has to make before someone retorts ... um, actually, it really is the mainstream now.

"..... In His Image?"

.... Um ..... The President is attempting to return the Supreme Court back into it's Constitutionally Mandated Purpose.

.... Heck .... Believe it or not ..... I really don't think the United States Supreme Court is meant to be used as a skillful tool for radical politicians to shape the country into a Socialist Communist Utopia ...... At least .... I didn't see that mandated in the Constitution .... like the Democrat/Socialist/Communist Rule by the Bench Activist Supreme Court Justices do ....

Puffy—> abnormal fluid retention—> chronic renal failure/congestive heart failure

I agree, she’s not just fat/overweight, she’s puffy/retaining fluids

“His image”

Trump’s image is the Framer’s image.

How to ruin a half way decent article in 15 words:

” Donald Trump lies all the time and says a lot of stupid and ignorant things...”

Mark Taylor (a fireman who had a prophecy Trump would be elected in 2011) claims he’ll get 3. Granted, I’ll believe it when I see it, but that would be fantastic. Put on Pryor and Barrett.

Sounds like a positive article about Trump......BUT (from the article)

“Donald Trump lies all the time and says a lot of stupid and ignorant things.”

Not exactly a pro Trumper.
