What are the odds ?? [View all]

Of one of the nine Supreme Court Justices dying in the last year of a President's term?

Who was the last Justice to die while serving on the Court before Scalia?

It is not a common occurrence.

Republicans talk about how Justices have never been appointed this late during an election season?

With the odds so great, that is very possible.

However, regardless of the odds, the Senate should stick to the Constitution.
