Blackmun, Souter, Stevens timed their resignations to turn their seat over to the DEMS.

Safely in the middle of Rapin Bill's first term: Blackmun [appointed by Richard Nixon] announced his retirement from the Supreme Court in April 1994 [age 85], four months before he officially left the bench, assuming retired status on August 3, 1994. By then, he had become the court's most liberal justice. In his place, President Bill Clinton nominated Stephen Breyer who was confirmed by the Senate 87–9.

We're still cursed with 82-year-old Breyer.

Made it to the Halfrican Reign of Error: Long before the election of President Zero, Souter [appointed by Grabby Poppy Bush] had expressed a desire to leave Washington, D.C., and return to his native New Hampshire.

The election of a Democommie president in 2008 made 70-year-old Souter more inclined to retire, but he did not want to create a situation in which there would be multiple vacancies at once. Souter [age 70] apparently became satisfied that no other justices planned to retire at the end of the Supreme Court's term in June 2009.

As a result, in mid-April 2009 he privately notified the White House of his intent to retire at the conclusion of that term. Souter sent The Kenyan Klown a retirement letter on May 1, effective at the start of the Supreme Court's 2009 summer recess. Later that day Oblabya made an unscheduled appearance during the daily White House press briefing to announce Souter's retirement.

On May 26, 2009, ClownBammy announced his nomination of federal appeals court judge Sonia Sotomayor. She was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on August 6.

Forunately, The Wide Latina is not so wise when it comes to her long-term health, so we may catch a break in Trump's second term.

Givin' another one to the Kenyan Klown: Stevens, age 90, [appointed by Gerald Ford] retired on June 29, 2010 as the third-longest-serving justice in the history of the Supreme Court with 34 years and six months of service and just three days short of tying the tenure of the second-longest serving justice in history, Stephen Johnson Field (1863–1897) who retired in December 1, 1897.

John Jerk Stevens' gift to us all is Elena Kagan.

Thanks, you drooling old Trotskyite.

We all remember that you attacked Brett Kavanaugh from your diaper-changing room because he had the temerity to defend himself from "charges" made up out of whole cloth by your fellow traveling Comrades in the Senate and the Media.

======================================

Looking over this list of sordid turncoat-ism, I'll note that God has a couple of months to pay something down on the Dems' karma bill...

Worse, I googled Justice Souter yesterday to see what he's up to in his post-Supreme Court years. He retired from SCOTUS in 2009 and is now 80 years old, but he has NOT assumed "Senior Status" on the federal bench, which means this commie STILL presides over various federal cases before the bench. He retains his position as a judge in First Circuit Court of Appeals (New England region of the federal courts), and can hear cases "by designation" at the circuit court level. So basically he serves as a substitute judge and "fills in" for the younger regular judges from time to time, usually in Feb. and March of each year.

So yes, that liberal activist is STILL establishing new federal "precedents", even today.

Souter, the gift that keeps on giving.
