Wow. Ginsburg isn’t all that surprising, but Sotomayor was just appointed. Wouldn’t have even considered her. If it were to come to fruition, appointing 4 Supreme Court Justices would certainly protect the republic for an entire generation. It’s critical that
President Trump at least appoint strong constitutional justices for Kennedy and Ginsburg. Anyone else would simply be a bonus.
Report: Trump Doesn’t Expect Ginsburg And Sotomayor To Make It Through His First Term
I don't think it matters if they do make it through. Neil Gorsuch is a SCOTUS that Democrats loved, so I would assume that any other nominee would be appropriate also.
Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer and Diane Fienstein all voted for Niel Gorsuch in 2006 as a Federal District court judge, a G.W. Bush appointee. This was a time when they owned the Senate and could have easily rejected him.
The only reason Democrats tried to block Gorsuch was because Republicans had blocked Obama's last nominee, Merrick Garland.
In fact, Gorsuch is the only nominee that stated Roe V Wade is precedent in the Constitution, meaning set in stone.

is Trump going to make it through his 1st term. According to Steve Bannon--Trump has a 30% chance of doing that---
