My wet dream Supreme Court after two Obama terms.

Advertisements [?]

In my dream, Scalia, Stevens, Ginsberg, Breyer, and Kennedy all either croak or retire. Obama gets to appoint 5 justices, creating a new progressive majority on the court.

The surviving conservative bloc:

John G. Roberts, Jr. (born 1955)
Samuel Alito (born 1950)
Clarence Thomas (born 1949)

The emergent progressive bloc:

Jennifer Granholm (born 1959)
Deval Patrick (born 1956)
Sonia Sotomayor (born 1954)
Harold Hongju Koh (born 1954)
Kim McLane Wardlaw (born 1954)

The surviving swing vote:

David Souter (born 1939)

Obama's two terms see the appointment of 3 new female justices (Sotomayor, Granholm, and Wardlaw), the first Hispanic justice (Sotomayor), and the first Asian-American justice (Koh).
