A call to overturn the landmark Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide is on the agenda Friday for the justices' closed-door conference.
Depends on if Roberts decides to retire or if Sotomayor dies. We’ll get another whack job if either of those things happens. Not saying Roberts isn’t a whack job, but he’s about the most moderate conservative on the court right now. (God help me, Barret is a close second).
No way he doesn’t get replace with someone like Aileen Cannon.
Alito or Thomas retiring will be a wash. Alito has said he’ll retire, so expect that to happen in the next 3 years. But honestly, I highly doubt there’s anyone as crooked as he is so it doesn’t really matter.
If Trump convinces Thomas and Alito to retire the way he did Kennedy, that gives him 5 Supreme Court picks and locks in a 6-3 majority for the rest of our lives.
It’s already a 6-3 Court, it functionally doesn’t matter if Sotomayor dies at this point. Roberts being the most moderate right-wing voice on the Court functionally doesn’t matter either, because they can still do 5-4 extreme rulings without him.
The Court is fucked for decades unless it is expanded.
