If Trump manages to cheat his way into a win,

He will pressure Thomas to resign
As much as we love her, Ginsberg cannot last forever
Breyer is getting old, and might be susceptible to pressure..

SO..

Trump would replace those three with THREE 40-something zealots..

and for the next FORTY years (at least) we have a 7-2 split..

Kagan & Sotomayor may as well take up knitting, just cast a standing opposition vote & watch Nexflix all day long.

It's obviously very important and would fire up the base. Since right now it appears immigration and race-related topics will needto be the top issues, SCOTUS would pair up nicely with those.

Said 2 definitely.
Like someone said on MSNBC tonight.
The next vote is to salvage democracy itself.
