Conservative Justice Antonius Scalia Dies; Conservatives Will Try To Obstruct
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.
