Of course, Roberts is a snake in the grass, so even better would be if Ruth Bader-Ginsberg would also retire, but because of her hatred for Trump and the 2A (and the Constitution in general), that's not likely to happen.
If the Dems get the Senate they can and almost certainly would block anything for two years on a Garland delay precedent. if the senate turns over and Ruth dies the next day there will be hardball of unprecedented levels to stop a trump nominee. with rushed hearings it is only seven months to go for certainty of successful trump appointments to the courts.

And the DC betting odds right now on Kennedy staying one more are 2:1
