DeSantis envisions ‘quarter-century’ of far-right majority in the supreme court

Speaking to Christian media, the Florida governor suggested a 7-2 conservative majority in the high court if he is elected president

In a speech to Christian media in Orlando, Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis, envisaged the creation of a 7-2 conservative majority that would last a quarter-century" on the US supreme court should he be elected president next year.

Speaking to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention, DeSantis said: I think if you look over the next two presidential terms, there is a good chance that you could be called upon to seek replacements for Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito and the issue with that is, you can't really do better than those two."
