With the current Supreme Court term coming to an end soon, there is growing speculation that 76-year-old Justice Sam Alito may step down from the seat he has held for 20 years, and that is leading to some under-the-radar maneuvering.

According to the Washington Post, Alito is widely considered the justice [most likely to step down, with observers pointing to his age, the release of his first book, and the November midterm elections as potential motivators due to Republican fears of losing control of the Senate.

    Does it matter?

    The Dems can’t filibuster for the supreme court.

        Calm down Rambo, the second amendment’s only good for two things.

        1. Making it easy for kids to shoot up a school.
        2. Sitting there with your thumb up your arse and convincing yourself that your rights can’t be taken away so long as you’ve got a gun.

        The only person that almost managed an insurrection was president at the time.
