“President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory, combined with the Republican takeover of the Senate, may extend conservative control of the Supreme Court for another two decades,” the Los Angeles Times reports.
“For much of the last four years, progressives focused their energies on proposals to expand the size of the court or impose term limits on the current justices.
These ideas to restructure the court depended on Democrats winning sweeping power in both the White House and the Senate.”“Instead, Republicans will be in charge and positioned to preserve the conservative grip on the high court long after Trump leaves Washington.”
