    If she’s like Ginsburg, she’s got at least 4 more Presidential elections in her.

    But in the end, it won’t matter. Trump will convince Thomas and Alito to step down like he did Kennedy and we’ll have a 5 member Trump court for the remainder of our lives.

      If we get elections in the future, it’s possible we’ll get Democrats in two of the branches, and if they get their shit together they can pack the courts. It’s not entirely hopeless, but it does ride on the Democrats being remotely competent as an organization for even a brief period of time.
