72 in a few years?
It's not like he's swinging a hammer for a living... Rbg is 84, if that's the comparison you're making. She would have had to retire at 80 to let 0 to replace her Last edited by superdave50; 01-23-2018 at 4:03 PM.. |

He may. Although he’s young comparatively for SCOTUS but not in the best of health. He’s known as Silent Clarence. So his opinion of Trump is not clear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From post #8; I'll repost this link that most presidents have two Supreme Court picks in a 4 year term!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._United_States I like the train of thought of post #11! |

Another article about how RBG has no intention to resign anytime soon.

The question isn't who will retire, eventually Ginsberg will die as will Kennedy.
The question is will the republicans hold the senate, and it looks like they will, and possibly flip a state or two. https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Senate Its too bad Flake was driven out of the party and his seat in Arizona. Its too bad we lost Alabama.....poor politics, very poor judgement on the part of Trump, maybe he will stop the attacks on his own senators. Maybe not. Probably not. Impulse control seems to be an issue for him.

it would still be a plus if he was retired during Trumps administration - getting someone in there 25 years younger secures that seat from another questionable administration getting that pick
as solid it as he may be, he can't beat time and these picks are somewhat a game of chess as much as RBG holds on waiting for her type of administration to replace her, the same has to be considered on our side of the game - better to replace one a few years too soon versus running the risk of that seat being in control of the wrong party when it comes up for grabs RBG took a huge gamble by not retiring during the Obama administration, maybe she thought Hillary was a lock and she could retire then, giving Clinton the pick for her successor now, she's faced with having to hope she can outlast Trump during this administration which could go 2 terms - she's already frail, even with her training regime time is not being kind to her

one more reason the 2018 elections will be very important - it's assured Trump won't get any help from the Democrats

Flake IS a conservative republican.
Anyway, with the economy booming the mid terms will go better than many expected. Yes the tax cut missed the masses, immigration is still an issue, but the question trump needs to ask is "are you doing better than you were two years ago?" Most will have to answer yes. Than he can ask, "should we obliterate North Korea?" And.... Do you want another liberal on the Supreme Court? That should push people to vote republican.

Flake has very liberal positions on immigration. That's why he's not running for re-election, he can't win holding a liberal view in a conservative state (at least for about 20 more years until demographics change Arizona permanently).

The biggest problem is that Republicans have created an image that's unappealing to the masses. I don't want a bible thumper spewing fire and brimstone as my (or anyone's) congress critter. But that's who rises to the surface because that's what the voters have been electing. And scandal after scandal erupts as the Roy Moore thing shows. I want representatives who are calm and articulate. Representatives who know when to bend and when not to. Representatives who aren't so stupid they think women have some sort of mental/physical ability to tell themselves to not get pregnant. I want someone who has ACTUALLY READ the Constitution and Bill of Right's and who understands that "shall not be infringed" means something other than; "Well if you vote for me I'll look into that." The economy will help but unless viable candidates run this fall, what we'll get is the same old mix of perverts with ego's and closets full of skeletons.

FWIW, Senator Dean Heller (R Nevada) says he believes Justice Kennedy will retire this summer: http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3...re-this-summer

1-3 and 1-5 chances of winning is a gross overestimation. Texas and
Mississippi are not in play. I highly doubt TN or AZ will go red either. The dems have to defend 4 or 5 states where Trump won by 8%-25% in 2016. Senate elections won't do much for 2A legislation though because the states GOP is most likely to take back are already pro-2A dems other than Missouri. They'd have to upset 3-4 more seats and I don't think they can do it. |

And Kennedy has hired his clerks for next term (ending in June 2019). So I wouldn't bet on it. He certainly hasn't said anything about retiring.

The 18th congressional district of the Pennsylvania State Assembly is not a microcosm of key 2018 senate seats. I'm not sure where you are getting this idea from, but the fact of the matter is, the democrats will have one of the toughest senate elections that they've ever had in decades. 1-3 to 1-5 is a gross overestimation but the same people who proclaimed Hillary's odds of winning the white house.

Ran across this video of RGB exercising. It's with Stephen Colbert, and while I don't like his comedy much the workout was interesting. The workout scene starts at 3:44
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oBodJHX1Vg This doesn't look like a very vigorous workout to me. |

RBG is not looking good there. Withdraw, flat responses, disengagement, and a "workout" that's easier than bending over to tie her shoes. And this is on a segment that's edited by someone who is trying to portray her in the best possible way.
Gives me hope!

Those exercises will help her overall mobility, make he feel better, and reduce her risk of falling. However her past heart condition and cancer is mostly genetics. I really don't think she will make it to 2020 election.

From wikipedia,
Quote:
This workout is not much more than just a little cardio. HDL helps to clear blockages in your arteries. The more vigorous the workout the more HDL . So she is likely pro-longing her life with this workout, but I doubt it by too much. I would guess that after the stent the doctors told her to start working out to extend her life. |

1999 Colon cancer 2009 Pancreatic cancer Also her mother died of cancer. I looked up her mothers age at the time of death at one point, I don't recall what it was exactly but it was much younger than RGB's current age. If she were to have cancer every ten years I would say she's due for another round. |
