3. I thought the so-called "liberal" justices were nearing retirement
Ginsburg & Stevens in particular with the fence sitter not far behind. I believe Breyer has expressed some desire to retire.
Roberts, Alito, Thomas and Scalia still have a long life. Do I have that right?

8. I'm inclined to agree with you. The side that values the Constitution is the one in most peril, IMHO
The knuckle-draggers are still young.

5. McLame will take care of that 'problem' if 'elected.'
