If the first few rounds of polling in the summer aren’t going Trumps way, I’d be willing to be there will be a lot of pressure on Thomas to retire. He’s never seemed like the bastion of good health and likely won’t last until 2028, should we get a democratic president in 2020. I’ve been hearing rumblings about how disappointing Kavanaugh has been so far to the right,  so the chance to get a total hard-liner like Barrett would be enticing.

One of the things I find interesting is how influential Catholics seem to be in all of this. Amy Coney Barrett is mentioned in the article I posted and is said to be Catholic; Kavanaugh is Catholic, as are Roberts, Kennedy, Thomas, Alito, and Sotomayo. So this predominately Catholic SCOTUS will decide cases about abortion and marriage and other social issues. I remember reading that when John F. Kennedy was running for POTUS, there was hand wringing about having a Catholic POTUS. In the Christian religion I subscribe to, we make a point of not disparaging other faiths, but this is concerning to me.

Yeah, McConnell. But hypocrisy is not a thing in politics, when it means you get your way.

Because Trump's already hired two men to dig her grave. He's not going to pay them when the job is done, but still..
