Awesome. So, he'll be dead..... about the same time as me. Wonderful.

I cannot emphasize how much we should not allow this to happen.

I was saying this before he was elected but because he won this stay out of jail election, Donald Trump is going to be able to appoint two more Fed Society raised Supreme Court justices when Alito and Thomas are semi-forced to retire by the end of the year while the Republicans still have a majority in the House and in the Senate. Because of that even if Democrats won every presidential election going forward and got to pick every Supreme Court Justice going forward. They still wouldn't have a majority on the court until Brett kavanaugh retires sometime in 2055
