Better off to just replace Scalia with someone cut from the same cloth and then wait for one of the libs to die or retire and do the same (Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg said she'd resign if Hillary won, but I bet she doesn't last 4 more years ... same for Kennedy).
I believe Thomas said he wanted to resign under Obama but had too much doubt.

So that could be three. He'll get little pushback on a Scalia replacement but they will scream on the other two.

Libs have no idea how much they've lost and there is no good will after Obama to hold hands and sign Kumbaya as other Republican admins have done in the past.
