Liberals will regain control of the US Supreme Court during the 2024 elections. Here is how.

Trump's supreme court pick to replace Kennedy will get confirmed by the US Senate by a party line vote before the 2018 elections.
Democrats regain control of the US Senate in 2018 by holding onto every Democratic held seat up in 2018 and picking up AZ,NV,and maybe TN.
Late 2019/early 2020- Ginsburg steps down. Schumer and Feinstein should deny Trump's Supreme Court Pick a US Senate confirmation hearing/vote by citing the McConnell rule- state it is a Presidential Election Year.
Democrats win the 2020 US Presidential Election and increase their majority in the US Senate by picking up AZ,CO,ME,and NC and losing AL. Senate Democrats should wait after the next President is inaugurated. The next President picks Ginsburg's replacement and he or she is confirmed by the US Senate.
2022- Breyer steps down. The Democratic President's supreme court pick to replace Breyer gets confirmed by the US Senate.
Democrats increase their majority in the US Senate by holding onto AZ,CO,NV,and NH and picking up PA and WI and maybe FL and NC.
