Thomas will be 77. Alito will be 75. Sotomayor will be 71. Roberts will be 70.
The Supreme Court will get younger in the next 4 years. I'm sure the old conservatives will be pressured to retire. Thomas may just be cast out for his indiscretions. Sotomayor has some significant health issues. Perhaps Trump decided to pack the court. |
Alito will announce in the next few months. Clarence in the next 18 months
God help us if any of the democrats have to retire |
This. Hopefully, a dem will be in office to replace sotomayor and possibly roberts |
This article is almost a year old. I wish her a long life, but retirement may extend it. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/sonia-sotomayor-medic-retirement_n_65d8ec05e4b0cc1f2f7bab77 |
I don't think he'll get to appoint any. Justices are loath to retire and only a serious illness or death would provide the opportunity. In that case, ir could be Thomas or Sotomayor who goes. |
No way to know |
MTE. Alito will be first within the next 3 months. |
Literally Martha Alito is on tape talking about hoping Trump is elected so Alito can retire.
He will retire Thomas will retire And their billionaire buddies will make sure it’s the right time for it. |
Alito definitely and thomas if trump makes retiring lucrative enough. Thomas getting even for his confirmation hearings and he might want to stay until he is carried out feet first. Sotamayor and Roberts aren't going to retire. |
Good thing our country has such a robust system of checks and balances.
Oh, wait... |
Maybe they will pass the Democrats' plan to have more Supreme Court justices. So about six appointments. |
Hopefully Trump will appoint an additional 90 new Justices.
99 seems like a good, round number to go with. Libs and Progs were so adamant that Biden pack the court, so I figure Trump owes it to them to see that Biden voters wishes can be carried out. It’s a gesture of friendship, right? I mean, it certainly won’t be the same type of appointments that Biden or Harris would’ve made, but at there WILL be some additional appointments, like you libs wanted! |
Nonsense! Trump should honor the democrat’s wishes to REALLY pack the court. He should nominate at least 500 new justices. |
Alito and Thomas are going to retire to cushy of counsel positions or emeritus positions. Sotomayor is going to try to hold on, but we are going to be white knuckling it a bit. |
Thomas loves power more than money and he loves sticking it to Democrats. Roberts isn't going to do anything about Thomas's lack of ethics so he will stay on the court and continue to take from his billionaire pals. |
