What Unified Government Would Mean for Republicans, and The Country<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=89056>

If, as it appears likely, we have a Republican President, Senate, House and Supreme Court, policy and law will shift sharply to the right.  Putting aside what that would look like on the merits, it does give us something we have not had in our system of divided government: a chance for a single party to govern and be held responsible and accountable by the voters. Gone would be arguments about the other party obstructing.
It is a very different world that the gridlock we have seen.
How will Republicans govern? How will voters judge them?

There’s the Scalia seat.  I expect Thomas will go at some point voluntarily, as he’s indicated he might want to do so.
And then, looking at longevity of the Justices, 1-2 more.
The stakes are huge. <http://talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/supreme-court-greatest-civil-rights-cause>
I should add that Justice Ginsburg’s decision not to retire in the middle of Obama’s second term seems a very bad miscalculation.
