RLMoeller:
We're screwed.
RobertH:
I was going to post this as well. The next president will also get to select one, maybe two justices.
wcr:
Supreme Court justices are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. The 114th Congress (2015 - 17) has Republicans (54 seats) and Democrat (44 seats) and 2 independents (who caucus with the Democrats). A simple majority vote is required to confirm or to reject a nominee. What could throw this to the other side (anti 2A) could be determined by how many RINOs there are.

The President recess appointed two already. I am sure he is licking his chops to do it again.
NOT GOOD!
