Will Donald Trump get to replace any of the four "liberal" Supreme Court justices? Obviously, he'll be more likely to do so if he serves two terms rather than one. Suppose he's re-elected in 2020. Here is how old the four "liberals" will be when Trump leaves office in January 2025:
- Ruth Bader Ginsburg: 91
- Stephen Breyer: 86
- Sonia Sotomayor: 70
- Elena Kagan: 64
I believe Sotomayor is in ill health. There's a good chance, therefore, that when Trump leaves office in January 2025, the Court will have eight "conservative" justices and only one "liberal" justice. Let's keep our fingers crossed that this happens.
