on same-sex marriage and Obamacare heard a powerful argument Thursday
for defeating Hillary Rodham Clinton: The next president could appoint
as many as four justices.
When the next president takes the oath
of office in January 2017, three current justices will be at least 80
years old: conservative Antonin Scalia (80), swing voter Anthony M.
Kennedy (80) and liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg (83). Liberal Justice
Stephen G. Breyer will be 78.
