Antonin "The Supreme Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is actually innocent" Scalia is dead.

Thomas, Kennedy, Roberts, and Alito could all resign right now in protest and I'd be ecstatic. Breyer and Sotomayor as well? Even happier. Replace the entire bench, for at least 20 years, with identical clones of Ginsburg? OK, sounds like an awesome idea, give a generation of good lawyering to be replaced, slowly, with other (probably lesser) lawyers.

Actuarial tables are still a real thing. And the fact that That Shithead Scalia lost the toss doesn't mean it wasn't likely that one of the others would have.
