I do not get this headline:
How in hell can the Supreme Court be called conservative? With four activist liberals surgically attached to their seats, and the media myth of a swing vote, nothing will change if strict constitutionalists do replace Scalia and Thomas. The High Court will still lean to port.
Of course, Clinton will make a hard left if she gets to replace Scalia and Thomas from her jail cell:
She could make it 7-2 whenever the so-called “swing vote” goes with the liberals in important cases as it often does.
A true conservative has to become president combined with a Republican Senate —— in addition to one of the Frightening Four retiring before 2020, in order to make a serious course change in the High Court.
Finally, counting chickens before they hatch never works out for conservative Americans. John Roberts gave us the ACA. Remember how David Souter turned out. He was supposed to be a conservative Republican if not a strict constitutionalist. He was neither. And will Americans ever forget Earl Warren and William Brennan?
p.s. I am still waiting for a liberal appointee to bite the hand that feeds it.
End of conservative Supreme Court: Clarence Thomas may be next to leave

Should Thomas leave, that slight majority would continue if Donald Trump becomes president.
Of course, Clinton will make a hard left if she gets to replace Scalia and Thomas from her jail cell:
If it's Hillary Clinton, then she would get the chance to flip two Republican seats, giving the liberals a 6-3 majority.
