Possible another vacancy SCOTUS

[RDN]

"Kennedy has played an important role as the court’s swing vote on many important rulings. His departure would allow conservatives to wrest near total control of the bench for the foreseeable future.
Supreme Court: Will Justice Kennedy retire this month?
Kennedy leaving? That's good - no more waffling on gun rights in high court - hopefully.

Another interesting article about anti 2nd Amend. Justice "the hag" Ginsburg.
She refuses to leave the bench. *But in long run that may of helped us gun owners.
Opinion: Ginsburg gambled to stay and now she may lose her legacy

IF...

It's all good in theory. We still need her to step down because the old biddy is like Timex and keeps on ticking.

 

[holdover]

The clock is ticking on Ginsburg, Shes 84 and not in great health.


That cold black cloud is coming down, feels like Im knockin on heavens door

We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. A. Lincoln * Great quote from Lincoln. Why is it that a President 153 yr ago "Got It" and these modern polls Don't

They get it more than Lincoln did in my opinion. Lincoln got what it meant and these modern day politicians are getting it to mean what they want. They are clever and most new people are buying into it. It's sad, but this is what's happening.

Yes, but the last justice that retired was 90 and a male. Science fact, women on average live long.
So.. expect Ginsburg to be around a very very time. Plus she's into "Witchcraft". That doesn't help us either.

 

[holdover]

But shes not very healthy, I lay 1-5 she doesn't see 4 more years. Even witches cant stop time.

 

[Truebeliever]

Guys, it only works in our favor if a pro-2A justice is appointed

 

[Airborneguy]

This is all that matters in the end!!

 

[holdover]

Pretty sure Trump won't put in a liberal

 

[GOPerfect]

He will retire soon. Soon as in, by the end of the year. He will be replaced by another Conservative. Ginsberg will either pass or retire by the end of the year. She will be replaced by a conservative as well.

This, I predicted months ago, as did other members here. Trump will get his three picks as many of us predicted.

Anyone who does not understand how great this is, has no clue how America really works!

 

[Podmonkey]

With Kennedy it's pretty much a zero sum gain for us. We need to replace one of the hardcore liberal judges and Ginsberg is the prime target.

Not exactly true , he has voted many times that did not fit into the conservative way of thinking.

In the very least, it resets the clock on that position.

You may not gain just swapping a conservative for conservative, but swapping a young conservative for an old one due to retire soon is a real gain.

And as you said, you can get a lot better conservative than Kennedy.

Not exactly zero sum. As I stated in a previous post, at 80 y/o he is approaching Ginsberg territory. If he hangs on until the next president we could conceivably lose his quasi conservative slant. This is what has happened to Ginsberg waiting for Hildabeast to win and appoint a liberal/progressive justice. She lost that wager. Now she's going to hold on to her seat out of sheer desperation for her legacy.

Replacing Kennedy now, with his pending retirement would take his potentially limited term (due to age) conservative slant and putting in a much younger, conservative leaning justice. Thus securing the hopeful 2A support for more than a generation compared to just a few more years with Kennedy.

 

[masterswimmer]

@spat , you beat me to it. lol

Its to our advantage but I wouldn't say its great. I don't all this judicial endrunning around the legislative branch. Its a perversion of the way things are supposed to work. Any midterm predictions? I am hoping we pick up some more seats and I think we very well may. I think middle America is repulsed by what they see the left doing on the news. I think the Virginia shooting is really opening some eyes.

 

[Phauxtoe]

Ginsburg is in no shape to remain on the court!
She should "re-Cruz" herself!

 

[Mosinitis]

It doesn't matter, they will never uphold 2nd amendment in a way that will help us.

 

[RDN]

More good news
Trump will have opportunities to fill vacant Federal Judges seats
It will be easier for his nominations to get through Senate cause the Ass-hole Democrats changed the rules - Ha Ha

White House moving to fill judicial seats, a chance to enhance Trump’s legacy

Everyone could make her a present of an embroidered My Pillow for Labor Day.

 

[Catskillkid]

Pack the courts (SCOTUS and federal positions) and get some Pro-2A cases on there and let's see what happens.
