Two sources at the White House have confirmed preparations are underway with the expectation that Justice Ginsburg will be retiring very soon.

This is the first time a reliable news site has entertained the possibility of Ginsburg’s retirement.

Such a court opening would be a seismic political event.

This would be the third Supreme Court vacancy in the first two-years of President Trump’s first term.

A historic feat.

However, President Trump would not be replacing a moderate judge, but a liberal activist justice.

If successful, it would cement a rock-ribbed 6-3 Conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

As it stands now, the Court has a 5-4 Conservative majority, with Chief Justice Roberts considered a waffler “swing vote”.

Much of Roberts’ oscillating has to do with his desire not to wade into controversial cases.

Last month, Roberts convinced Justice Kavanaugh to join him and the four liberals in rejecting a challenge to Planned Parenthood’s funding.

It takes four justices to agree to hear a case before it is brought before the Court.

Justices Thomas (Bush 41), Alito (Bush 43), and Gorsuch (Trump) all wished to hear the case. These three men form the core of the Conservative wing of the Court. I believe Kavanaugh will eventually settle into this group.

However, a third Trump appointment would help solidify four socially conservative justices.

Moreover, it would shrink the liberal block to three justices while rendering Roberts’ vote superfluous.

According to The Daily Caller.

“Quiet preparations are underway within conservative legal circles and the White House counsel’s office in the event that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg retires, two sources familiar with the process tell The Daily Caller…’if Ginsburg’s seat becomes vacant, there would be a lot of pressure to appoint a woman, I would think that one person the president would seriously look at would be Amy Coney Barett.’”

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
