That could just mean the maintenance contract on the rebar in her back is up then...
I hope so. We need some more friendly judges

With what's been coming out of Washington regarding firearms, I wouldn't count on any more staunchly conservative judges being nominated for SCOTUS seats.

Right, and all of Reagan and Bush I and II appointees were supposed to overturn it. Except not.

Maybe! If Trump gets a move on! He can't drag ass because the Dems will put up every road block known to man!
Yeah, what's up with her? Are they going to still be wheeling her out to the bench when she's in a coma and hooked up to a ventilator? You know she would have retired day one if Clinton had been elected.

This, x 1000. He'll be gone sooner or later. But the impact of the court - especially now - will impact our lives for decades. The Gorsuch seating was so important. One more seat coming from us instead of from the wild and woolly left will be Trump's greatest achievement.

I agree. Especially if this actually happens after midterms and the Repukes lose seats.
We need Kennedy's seat and one other because I wouldn't bet that Thomas (who is probably the most solid 2A vote remaining) necessarily lives longer or much longer than Ginsburg. Despite her health issues, Ginsburg will definitely try to wait until 2020 when there's a chance that the WH will flip.
I don't even view Roberts as much more pro-2A than Kennedy, and Alito has statist tendencies. But both Roberts and Alito will likely continue for at least a decade more.
Thus in addition to a Kennedy replacement, we need to get someone in when Thomas or Ginsburg steps down - meaning Trump needs to nominate 2 more Supreme Court justices - otherwise there's a very good chance of being in the minority after 2020.
Knowing Chuck Schumer, he's going to try to schmooze Trump into going for a moderate nominee for the Kennedy replacement (when Kennedy officially announces).

Schumer may try, but he knows that (barring a disqualifier) stalling won't work for long.
