Time for a transgender Judge.
Will Obama get to appoint his replacement or Trump next year?
The fight on that has already begun, Mitchell & Cruz for example have already come out to say that they want the replacement to be appointed by the next president. Obama apparently wants to appoint his guy anyways, expected to come out with a speech in half an hour or so.

This is rumoured to be Obama's guy, rather centrist actually, probably in hope that the Repubs will accept him.
It's expected that 2-3 judges will have to be replaced during the next precedency anways, so the next president already will have some crazy power, and will probably shape the court for the next 25 years or so. If some hardcore conservatives are appointed, even things such as abortion could come under scrutiny again, not even talking about gay marriage or gun legislation.
It's also completely absurd that these decisions matter this much. Goes exactly against the idea of a constitutional court in the first place.
