Supreme Court Turnover

Justice Scalia was almost 80. Justice Scalia's seat is vacant. Ginsberg is 82 years old, Kennedy is 79, Breyer is 77, and Thomas is 67. Nowadays, the data shows that the average age of a Supreme Court retirement or death occurs after 75.

These are 5 vacancies that will likely come up over the next 4-8 years.  The next President will have the power to potentially create a 7-2 Supreme Court skewed in their ideology. If the next President appoints 5 young justices, it will guarantee control of the Supreme Court for an entire generation. And 7-2 decisions will hold up much more over time than 5-4 decisions which are deemed to be lacking in mandate.

Hillary has made it clear she will use the Supreme Court to go after the 2nd Amendment. She has literally said that the Supreme Court was wrong in its Heller decision and that the Court should overturn and remove the individual right to keep and bear arms. Period. If Hillary Clinton wins, and thus gets to make these appointments, you surely will never see another Conservative victory at the Supreme Court for the rest of your life. Or Ever.
