The Supreme Court Election - A Vote For Hillary?

[AzzarTheGod]

Some people have brought up the fact that they won't vote if the eventual nominee is not the person they wanted. I just want to put something in perspective:
Justice Scalia's seat is vacant
Ginsberg is 82 years old
Kennedy is 79
Breyer is 77
Thomas is 67

The data shows that the average age of a Supreme Court retirement or death occurs after 75.

These are 5 vacancies that will likely come up over the next 4-8 years. The next President will have the power to potentially create a 7-2 Supreme Court skewed in their ideology.

Think about that ... 7-2.

If the next President appoints 5 young justices, it will guarantee control of the Supreme Court for an entire generation. And 7-2 decisions will hold up much more over time than 5-4 decisions which are viewed as lacking in mandate.

Hillary has made it clear she will use the Supreme Court to go after the 2nd Amendment. She has literally said that the Supreme Court was wrong in its Heller decision stating that the Court should overturn and remove the individual right to keep and bear arms ... Period.

Anyone and Everyone who is saying that they won't vote for one candidate or the other if they are the GOP nominee, please realize this. If Hillary Clinton wins and gets to make these appointments, you likely will never see another conservative victory at the Supreme Court level for the rest of your life. Ever.

Yep. Can't get another conservative there. Citizens United is proof for this

Congress still has to approve nominees via a vote.
