You’re assuming Breyer and Ginsburg will live through President Trump’s terms. Try and find someone in Vegas to give you odds on that.
Just a reminder, if any opening happens on the SCOTUS in 2020, no replacement will be seated because it’s an Election Year.
Doesn’t matter that the Senate will be GOP until at least January of 2021. Lindsey Graham has already stated that fact and he may well end up being the Judiciary Committee Chairman in the next Congress.
If POTUS Trump fails to win Reelection in 2020 (shudder), the Court will end up being more Liberal than anyone could have thought possible.
Nowadays, the Constitution is fleeting.
Well here’s the thing, this 9th circuit illegal immigration thing is occurring now, President Trump needs it overruled now. Ginsburg isn’t dead yet and it appears her demise isn’t imminent, nor is Breyer’s.
