BIRTHDAYS - biggest SCOTUS problem

Scalia's open court rant this week on the VRA prompted me to check out ages of some of the justices. This was the only thing I could think of to do to placate myself on his hideous statements. Results are mixed.

Scalia will be 77 later this month.

Kennedy will be 77 in July.

Thomas will be 65 in June.

Alito will be 63 on April Fool's Day

Roberts just turned 58 in January.

Ginsberg will be 80 on March 15.


So, possibly Scalia and Ginsberg could be replaced during Obama's second term. Scalia could be easily replaced, but Ginsberg will be a huge loss. We could be stuck with Thomas, Alito and Roberts for another 15-20 years.

Includes how many Senate votes they received. Astonishing - Scalia got 98!

Thank you kindly.
