Mitt Romney to run if Jeb Bush doesn’t, CBS’s Bob Schieffer says

32. Not this time around - the Surpeme Court will come into play for whomever wins 2016

With several GOP aligned justices getting up there in ages including Anthony Kennedy (77) and Antonin Scalia (78) the balance of the Supreme Court could switch from GOP favored to Dem favored. Kennedy is in decent health but Scalia is not in good health but neither would retire while a democrat is in the White House.

Plus the GOP like the idea that Ginsberg (81) and Breyer (75) are getting up there in age. If either of those 2 were to leave Scotus (retirement or death) with the GOP in the White House then you could see a serious change from leaning GOP to hardcore GOP.

What's worse - the new thing for appointing judges to the Supreme Court is the idea to pick them young so they can serve for decades. Bush was smart to replace Head Justice William Reinquist with newly appointed (and only 50 years old at the time) John Roberts. Roberts could be controlling that white house for DECADES.

So don't think the GOP are going to write off this presidential election. I think they did in 2012 since they knew Obama was a tough battle and there wasn't too much risk to losing the Supreme Court.
