      I deliberately waited like 5 minutes before posting because I was sure someone else would get it before/at the same time as me.

                The thing is, if Trump picks another conservative the left will go crazy, literally! A long hot summer ahead...

Whereas when I see the conservative judges rule different from the liberals, and I look at the case, I almost always conclude that the conservative judges' rulings were politically biased and not based on rationality and reason. That's been my fairly consistent experience.

                  It will be interesting to see whether Dems in 2020 have the spine to say "Republicans stole a SCOTUS seat from Obama, so we're appointing 2 judges immediately to restore balance" and how Republicans will respond to that.

                    If he doesn't, Trump won't have a chance in 2020. A lot of Republicans voted for Trump just because he had a chance to influence the SCOTUS.

                        He needs to punch Trump's new pick in the nose...

                          He will, by now Trump thoroughly hates the left. Again, I predict riots...

                            SCOTUS Justice Anthony Kennedy to Retire

                            Ending speculation that has been going on for the past two years Anthony Kennedy, long regarded as the "swing vote" on the Supreme Court, has announced that he will be retiring by the end of the month.

                            This means that Trump will have a second Supreme Court vacancy to fill.
