I remember waking early on the morning of 13 February 2016 and learning Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had died: a relative told me the news over breakfast. Although I did not know much about Scalia, I did know he was a conservative Catholic who apparently opposed abortion and who had voted against the same-sex "marriage" decision the previous year. You can imagine my satisfaction —for many of you felt the same way during those critical months —when the Republican Senate majority announced it would not deliberate on a replacement for Scalia until after the 2016 election. The Senate took a gamble that Trump would win the election (and he did), and Obama's nominee to replace Scalia never took office. Instead, a nominee of Trump's own choosing took office 14 months later, in April 2017.





This was good, but not significant. It was simply a preservation of the status quo, since the leftist, secular Jewish liberals still had a large presence on the Court, in addition to a reliable "swing vote" in the fickle Justice Anthony Kennedy, a "Republican" who nevertheless had provided the necessary votes in favour of abortion and gay "marriage" decisions in the past. The state of the Court until the present-day had been a 5-4 leftist majority. This changed, however, with the resignation of Justice Anthony Kennedy on 31 July 2018. President Trump deliberated and decided to nominate a (Novus Ordo) Catholic, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, to replace Kennedy.





The state of things today is very significant. With the presumption that President Trump will be re-elected in 2020, it is possible Trump will not only replace Kennedy's seat, but also the seat of the aging secular Jew, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Perhaps other leftists on the Court will resign in exasperation, and the older conservatives on the Court will resign to give Trump the opportunity to appoint young, traditionally-minded Justices who will guide the nation for generations to come.

Leftist fright Obviously, this scenario of a traditional and conservative Supreme Court is something that was not only unfathomable three years ago, but the "stuff of nightmares" to the liberals of America today. It is totally natural and to be expected, then, that liberals would do everything in their power to prevent this. "It was hard enough for us to accept the nomination of Gorsuch — we will not accept another Trump nominee," the leftists are saying. Leftists fear a traditional Supreme Court: the possibilities are endless —chiefly coming to mind are a possible overturn of the civil "rights" decisions of the '60s, and repeals of Roe vs. Wade (the Court order legalising abortion) and Obergefell vs. Hodges (the 2015 decision imposing sodomy-marriages on the country). In this happy turn of events, such a dramatic change from the political milieu during the Obama times, we can certainly see the working of Divine Providence. Now, it is our duty to cooperate with this work of Providence.
