The two other justices who are thinking of leaving, should announce as well

Can you even IMAGINE how many right wing heads would explode, if there were THREE ..all at once..being replaced?

By having them one at a time, psread out over a few years, it presents the issue af a fight..every time..and what if the dem majority in the senate is lessesned or even lost when the next ones come around?

He has the power NOW..and it would be nice if the ones who are considering leaving, did so sooner, rather than later..

That would also cut down on the infighting between "groups".. Pres. O could nominate a hispanic woman, a black woman and an Asian man... and present them all at once.. Roberts et al would be kerfluffled and bejesufied at the thought of that new court in October :evilgrin:

as long as the current incumbents...

and preferably while we still have strong majorities in both Houses.

I'd like a permanent liberal majority on the SCOTUS, please. :-)
