How many New supreme court justices can Trump appoint if all goes well

O/U 3.50

House doesn't figure into any confirmations except VP.
Love Thomas and Alito, but hoping they both resign within the first two years if we get a Trump win and take the Senate. If we can lock those two seats down with young conservatives, that would be a HUGE win.

Any chance Ted Cruz ends up on the SC?

That would be a disaster.

One would think that Thomas and Alito have to retire. I would love for Roberts to retire too, but I doubt that happens.
I don't see any of the dem appointees retiring (Sotomayor being the oldest at 70 currently) unless they have some serious health or personal issues pop up.

I agree that Thomas and Alito should retire and we replace them.
Then, we should introduce the same legislation that the Dems want, to increase the #. Even if it goes nowhere, just watching them contort themselves into pretzels arguing against the SAME bill they wanted passed, would be worth the gold in comedy itself.

Even the Texans don’t want Rafael anymore. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing

I totally disagree. I think he'd be the perfect replacement for Thomas.

Trump hand-waved judges that the Federalist Society vetted and recommended. In his second term he might take those decisions for himself. We might see a very different sort of Justice.

Sotomayor likely won't make another 4 years.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Alito announce he's leaving at the end of current term on 1/21/25. Perhaps Thomas also.
Roberts is a wild card.
At least 1, possibly 4.

He has to choose first and second amendment absolutists this time around.

Increasing the number of SC justices requires no legislation or constitutional amendment. POTUS can appoint as many as he (or she, heaven help us) likes, and the Senate can confirm all, some, or none of them.
Currently, there are nine justices only by tradition.
Incorrect.
The Judiciary Act of 1869 set the number at 9 and although there have been proposals to change it (FDR wanted to be able to appoint one justice for every sitting justice age 70+, Congress wouldn't act).
The Constitution says "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish," placing the creation of federal courts and number of justices on each court squarely on Congress.

Would love to see Roberts go. ...even right now.

9, 3 to replace democrats, 3 RINO’s and 3 great Justices

If Trump wins, it would be funny as shite if he started floating the idea of packing the court.
Can you imagine the melt from the left?

Thomas and Alito for sure.
The wise Latina is ate up with diabeetus. She should retire and enjoy her life. But they won’t let her.
