Republican administrations over the last many decades have refused to give abortion litmus tests to court nominees. Hillary Clinton now leading with 1.7 million votes says his mandate's are extremely weak. So I doubt that Republicans would approve of a far Reich wing nominee--mainly out of fear that they would lose their own seats.
Trump is a one termer, that is, if he doesn't get impeached first. Democrats will most certainly take over both houses in 2018--so all of these existing court justices can certainly make it through the next 2 years.
Of course, I hope you're correct....(although taking back the House would be tough with all the red gerrymandering)....
Additionally, not only would the current Justices need to hang on for the next 2 years, but the evil Scalia's seat needs to be filled and I wonder if Dems, in the senate have the backbone to filibuster.
Another small ray of hope is that Thomas (without Scalia's lap to sit on) may soon retire.
Republicans lost 2 senate seats and 6 house seats. Americans are pissed off, and those that normally wouldn't vote in a midterm are going to make certain they show up.
Supreme court Justices can be confirmed with a simple majority, but again you have Republicans in the Senate and the House that will be up for reelection in 2018 that aren't going to confirm some dip-shit Reich wing radical nominee. They just won't do it. Democrats will have a stink fit about it, Republicans can't afford to lose women--by attacking Roe V Wade or Planned Parenthood. While a Trump supporter is dumber than shit, Republicans in the house and senate aren't.
OBAMACARE--to repeal will require 60 votes in the Senate and that doesn't exist there. It took a sitting Democrat President and a Democrat super majority in both houses that gave us Obamacare, and anything less isn't going to repeal it. So they're dead in the water on that one. The only thing they can do is try to get Democrats to agree to tweek it to get the cost down.
Now this guy is off the reservation.
1. Any of the names Trump has put up will become the next Justice. Why? Because the Dems said they would go to simple majority when they thought it was in the bag for Hilly. They lost, now their own words will make it palatable because it is on tape-)
2. Was not a super majority that got Obysmalcare, it was Democratic house, Presidency, and senate, just like the Repubs have now. Don't you remember your fearless leader Harry Reed changing the rules to get it through without 1 Republican vote? Or are you to young! Either way, Obysmalcare is gone, adios, sayonara, see ya-wouldn't want to be ya!
3. Do you really follow politics; I mean closely? You do realize that in 18 it is now the Democrats who have all those juicy seats up for vote-) You had better hope that your political philosophy is 100% accurate on how they handle the economy, because if it isn't and Trump gets the economy to pick up at all, I would say that you will certainly have a super majority, but on our side come 1
Have a WONDERFUL 2 years, knowing that what is best for American workers, if it starts to pick up for them you will be conflicted from happiness for your countrymen, to fury knowing you Democrats may not win another state seat except in Illinois, New Jersey, Illinois, New York, and California, for around 15years, lol.
Oh ya, and by the way, your guy hasn't a snowballs chance in Louisiana. He has a far less chance, than Hillary had against Trump, hehehehehehehehehehehehe! (now that has to hurt)
