![]() Current Supreme Court:
Antonin Scalia | appointed by Ronald Reagan | died at age: 79 - CONSERVATIVE John Roberts | appointed by George W. Bush | current age: 61 - CONSERVATIVE Anthony Kennedy | appointed by Ronald Reagan | current age: 79 - CONSERVATIVE / MODERATE Clarence Thomas | appointed by George H. W. Bush | current age: 67 - CONSERVATIVE Ruth Bader Ginsburg | appointed by Bill Clinton | current age: 82 - LIBERAL Stephen Breyer | appointed by Bill Clinton | current age: 77 - LIBERAL Samuel Alito | appointed by George W. Bush | current age: 65 - CONSERVATIVE Sonia Sotomayor | appointed by Barack Obama | current age: 61 - LIBERAL Elena Kagan | appointed by Barack Obama | current age: 55 - LIBERAL Standings now after Scalia has died: Conservative: 4 Liberal: 4 Congress would need to completely obstruct appointment for nearly a year. The average time for appointment in modern times is roughly 2-3 months. Obama has 342 days left in office. Even if Republicans in Congress manage to obstruct democracy for that long, their chance of winning the White House this November is bleak. Conclusion: Conservatives are about to eat shit and die, and we're finally going to start seeing some decent Supreme Court decisions. | ||
