If Jeb Bush is the GOP nominee republicans who threaten to stay home better turn out and vote for him. If they don't they risk a more liberal supreme court. The next President will likely nominate two supreme court Justices from ( 2016-2020 ) and if he/she wins election perhaps as many as three to four more Justices, stacking the court.
Right now the conservatives appear to have a numbers advantage as three of the four oldest members are liberals. If Hillary Clinton wins, you can pretty much guarantee she's going to nominate a woman, likely one with a feminist / welfare agenda.
If Jeb were to win, he can pick a justice as conservative as he likes as the GOP likely owns the senate and the house in 2016. A conservative Latino would be the prefect play for him.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg age 82. ( And she's ill )
Antonin Scalia age 79
Anthony Kennedy age 78 ( 79 on july 23 )
Stephen Breyer age 76 ( 77 this August )
