I heard basically the same. Get another conservative on the court for the next 30 years.

The supreme court needs to be balanced to represent all of us....not just one party or one ideology. All the justices know the constitution but interpret it a little differently. And that's a good thing. And that's what makes our country great. If the supreme court was all liberal or all conservative it would adversely affect us all. Many would like and many wouldn't. It would be horrible for this country.

Actually the liberals want judges that legislate from the bench. Make up the constitution as they go. They want judges who vote on their feelings. Conservatives on the other hand want a judge that follows the constitution and follows the law.

All the current judges follow the constitution. And Garland would have too.

We desperately need a constitutional amendment either creating a 20/25 year term limit or mandatory age limit for federal judges at all levels. When our country was formed I'm sure they never imagined a day would come when judges could potentially serve for 50+ years. Back then most people didn't even live 50 years.

John Roberts can retire, he's proven he's open to blackmail and his rulings are up for sale.
