Let's assume that Judge Kavanaugh is seated, as he very probably will be. We will have realized a tremendous boost in our security against a Supreme Court which would force unwanted and unneeded social engineering on us with presumptuous abandon. Moreover we will have gone a very long way toward realizing the existential good fortune we got when Hillary was defeated. Just imagine her nominees esconsed with the four radicals already there. Too, Ruth Bader Ginsburg might well have retired in order that a younger dreamer be put in her place. Its reasonable to think that those who would blithely legislate from the bench that which true legislatures would never pass, would have at least a 5-4 majority by now, with excellent prospects for expansion to unassailable dominance should more openings occur.
When Justice Kavanaugh sits the mostly conservative bloc will have gone from 4.5 (Justice Kennedy was not an assured conservative vote, though he sided with the real America in some very critical votes) to 5.0. Chances are we will hold the Senate and should another opening occur before at least 2021, we may expand the majority of Justices who believe in judicial restraint to 6 or even 7. The following is a real reach but one might hope that such an unassailable margin might prompt Justices (sic)Sotomayor and Kagan to resign in despair. Breyer and Ginsburg are paying increasingly burdensome tribute to Father Time.
But so is Justice Thomas; he is 70. We are still, given some bad luck
(loss of the Senate and a Biden Presidency in 2020) in some conceivable danger of the enthronement of a much more destructive Warren court. Judge Kavanaugh's ascension is an enormous victory, as is shown by the frantic gnashing of teeth displayed by Dems and their anarchic supporters in their present unendurably powerless state. But we must stay the course of support for this faithful President and a Republican Senate to enjoy probably final return of the Supreme Court to its proper role of construction, not legislation.
I've been reading about the role the Federalist Society has played in the return of the Court to integrity. Apparently, after Roe v. Wade confirmed the determination of philosopher-kings to drag the U.S. into that which they alone "knew" to be justice, the founders of the Society determined to nurture prospective judges and Justices who would stand against this totalitarian wrongheadedness. They have been spectacularly successful in having earned President Trump's respect, reflected in his nomination of Judge Kavanaugh. Charles Schumer knew it, oh yes he did, when he foamed at the mouth about the perfidy of the Society's having been a decisive factor in Judge Kavanaugh's nomination. His coastal blinders will admit of him no other conclusion. Again, I apologize to the real America for his onerous occupation of both our Senate seats but we real Americans in NY just don't have the numbers to outvote the People's Republic of the Mouth of the Hudson. Thank God you do! Jack

Jack, this is a superb analysis, and as you observe we're not out of the woods yet. President Trump could lose in 2020, and then time would once again be on the side of the Left... They are bandying about the idea of expanding the Court to dilute the influence of conservatives, and if you look at the attitude they took in the Kavanaugh hearings I don't think we can doubt for a second that they would seriously contemplate such a move. Thus, the only path of safety for America is to keep the presidency, the Senate, AND the Supreme Court permanently in conservative, and therefore responsible, hands. I pray we will do just that.
Dr> Waddy: I didn't know they were considering that change. Surely they know how FDR fared in that regard although it surely didn't cost him elections. We are in the midst of an existential fight for the American mind and polity against people who would destroy us and the positive, constructive way of life enjoyed by the real America and available to all willing to follow its example.
