Trump 'expects' four more Supreme Court picks
President Trump believes that he will have the opportunity to pack the Supreme Court with five judges, making him only the seventh president to appoint a majority and potentially cementing his legacy and that of the conservative court well past 2055.

Buoyed by the Senate's expected confirmation today of Neil Gorsuch to replace the late Antonin Scalia, Trump has told associates that he fully expects to name four more justices.

"He expects to name five to the court," said one of those associates.

Please make it so.

 

[ProgSpear]

Heh. The number of brain aneurysms following that happy event might thin the progressive herd quite a bit.

 

[Criticalt]

In the liberal progressive world, this CANNOT happen!!
I have a feeling that after the second or third, the left will make moves to create extreme civil unrest.
If the SCOTUS looks like its going to a 7-2 conservative lean, the liberal politicians and citizens would rather be dead.
Look at the hissy fits over ONE pick.
This may get interesting.

I presume in this he expects a second term, which is far from assured.

The stats are quite favorable for another justice during his first term, if not two. Highly unlikely three, and unfortunately very possibly not even one more. But, my money is on him getting one more. If he does get a second term, 2-3 more is perfectly reasonable to predict.

But he will absolutely need to keep control of the senate or else this is all moot.

Liberals have no hearts, some of those judges will live for years.

If two of the liberal justices retire/die and Thomas retires before his third year is over he will be good to go and the court will be conservative for decades.

This is so total karma for all the years of rape and pillage by the democrats and progressives.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Maybe Schmucky should just step in front of a moving train now.

 

[Podmonkey]

If we get four picks in then I demand a full Supreme Court press on all 2A infringements, past and present and in all states. I want all of NFA and Hughes act gone and language banning additional regulation by the states over Federal law.

 

[Greywolf224]

Face it, the liberal anti Trump judges will do all they can not to die or retire during the Trump presidency.
Ginsburg wont retire till she is 93.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

I'd feel so bad for that train though.

 

[STS556]

If Trump can appoint at least 2 more conservative judges as young as Gorsuch, then we hopefully have nothing to worry about for the next few generations as far as us getting screwed by SCOTUS.

Please....let there be someone nearby to visually document such a historic event.

 

[GOPerfect]

Four? No way. I see and predict three and only three.

Thomas is 68, if things fall into place perfectly, he may retire earlier than expected to guarantee a conservative bench. This is where the forth pick comes into play. He would be 71 at that time. Maybe....

The democrat party will do all they can to keep the judges from retiring (and dying if they can).

 

[RDN]

I know Thomas wants to leave. What other justices plan to go? Sotomayor and Kagan are in their 60s.
And you know Ginsburg the hag will never leave , just to spite Trump and pro-2nd Amend. lover.

 

[Bob]

Kennedy had been talking about retiring for a while.
Thomas has gone on record as wanting to retire.
Ginsburg has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.
Breyer is often forgotten about. He'll be 79 soon. He could croak at any time too.

We cant have all that.
The armed robbery, assault and battery and murder crime rates will plummet. That will decimated the lib voting base.

It's a kinder decimation than they one I'd wish on them. Think Sherman's March to the Sea, right through Atlanta.

Someone grease that banana peel.

There is any number of jokes I reeeeaally like to make here but I don't feel like having DHS come knocking on the side of me truck. A warning to any such agents reading this, if you do ever wake me up in my truck, I swear to God I'll come out butt ass nekkid.

 

[JosERW]

The NRA and NYSRPA will somehow find a way to screw this up. Let me know when we get a single right restored.

Something like this I imagine -

It's at least as important which justices he gets to replace as how many.
