He who controls the court, controls the 2nd Amendment.
He who replaces Scalia or Kennedy in the next 6 years, controls the court.
Ginsburg will retire so Obama can replace her before the election (if it even appears close).
Breyer will be pushing 80 at the end of Obama's 2nd term.
Wouldn't it be divinely inspired if a true conservative beat Obama and was able to replace Scalia with another constructionist sometime into his 2nd term, replace Kennedy with a 100%er, and replace Breyer asap: stage right.
Kagan and Soto and Ginsburg replacement may be on the court for another 30 years, but if relegated to writing for the minority all the time, one or two could conceivably take early retirement and return to teaching Marxism at Beir Zeit on the Hudson (Columbia University).
Hopefully, the NRA might see fit (
this time around) to support only those candidates in the Senate who will vote for justices that will protect the 2nd Amendment. Kagan and Sotomayer are lost causes for the next 30 years (a big shout out to Harry Reid, the NRA's mascot for our 2nd Amendment rights).
