Kennedy is likely retiring late 2018.
If this is true, we are fucked as a nation for the next 40 years at the minimum. His replacement will make John Roberts the new swing vote. Yeah, THAT John Roberts. The swing vote. Should Ginsburg retire as well, there will then be five reliable rubber stamp fascist votes, with absolutely no possibility of a swing vote. No more checks on Trump from that branch of government. The 2020 census could say Oklahoma has ten times the population of California and gets that many more representatives/electoral votes, and nobody could stop it.
Sorry, wrong thread? /doom
