Hypothetical: Anthony Kennedy steps down and Trump replaces him with another Justice.
October comes and the Supreme Court rules on the Travel Ban.
Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and the New Judge vote in favor of the Ban.
Ginsburg, Kagan, Sotomayor, and Breyer vote against it.
John Roberts is the tie-breaker. How would he vote?
i think you know the answer

Bush era republicans can't be trusted though..
9-0 for partial reinstatement while the SCOTUS prepares says it's not gonna be the knucklebiting tie we expected. These guys know their names are attached to their decisions and that the ramifications are studied deeply... They'll be more inclined to actually follow the law

Replace him with Obama
>The court is already right slanted so the balance remains the same
>obama is a constitutional scholar and liberals can't argue against it
>obama is now removed from the main political scene for the rest of his whole life
Then Ginsberg croaks in a year or two and you put a super conservative on the bench
You literally politically eliminate obamas for the bext 20-30 years

It will be 9-0 upholding the ban. The law is very clear on Trumps authority to do what he did. The 9th circuit is a far left activist court that has no interest in properly interpreting the law. They get something like 80% of their decisions overturned that go to SCOTUS. Just because the media screams UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!! over and over doesn't make it true

Obama will be politically elimitated either by criminal charges or by his legacy becoming tarnished beyond all repair. Its already over for Obongo

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read here
>>131523105
you think that'll stop him from being a political commentator? Also, why add a liberal judge as bad as ginsberg just to try to get rid of someone from talking politics?

Ted Cruz should be the super conservative one. No obstruction in the 2020 primaries then.
