    And it will have repercussions for decades and decades. Many, even many younger people, will now not see any changes in the overall makeup of SCOTUS in their lifetime.

      It’s crazy. He was already tied for sixth most SC justices appointed (with seven other presidents). If Alito and Thomas retire and he replaces them, he’ll only be behind Washington, FDR, and Taft. His numbers for other judicial appointments were already very high as well.

      People really do not appreciate how long we’ll be feeling the consequences of this if we survive this term and move on to someone sane.
