Retired pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson is warning Donald Trump that a third party run could do more than just put Hillary Clinton in the White House. Carson cautioned the billionaire businessman that an independent presidential bid would tilt the balance of the Supreme Court in a liberal direction for generations."If he [Donald Trump] decides to run a third party campaign, he basically will be giving the election to the progressives who will get two or three Supreme Court picks," Carson told Fox News host Megyn Kelly Friday.Over the past decade numerous split decisions reveal the replacement of even one justice could tip the balance of power on the court. By 2020, four Supreme Court justices will be in their 80s, meaning the next president will play a pivotal role in shaping the future trajectory of the High Court.
