    I did a little research. Ginsburg is 84 and Breyer 79 - along with Kennedy, those are the three oldest justices on the Court.

      Ginsburg has health issues as well having been treated for both colon and pancreatic cancer but has said she won't step down because her work helps her cope with the death of her husband (who passed away in 2010)

        Are we talking about judges on the court or prospective judges? Of the judges on the court, only Clarence Thomas has; the key case is Gonzales v. Carhart. In that, the decision was made to restrict Roe v. Wade somewhat, but Thomas and Scalia wanted to go further and overturn the entire thing. Scalia obviously isn't around and Gorsuch is an unknown entity in regards to it.

        In terms of prospective judges, William Pryor (who was on Trump's list of possible judges to nominate) is known for being very much against Roe v. Wade, labeling it the "worst abomination in the history of constitutional law." I don't know about the other judges that were on Trump's list of potential nominees.

          I seem to remember Gorsuch making a comment at some point about not wanting to overturn RvW, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
          I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

            Yes, he flat out said that he "accepted Roe V Wade as "the law of the land"".
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                Especially for a Supreme Court Justice.

                  One can hope.
