Thomas and Alito are the two most conservative Justices on the court—more conservative than any of Trump’s choices. So replacing them would likely be steering the court to the left.

That would be nothing compared with what a president Harris would do.

You are correct, but it is customary for an exiting judge to give a strong recommendation to his/her replacement.

Usually these are ignored of course if the opposite party is in power, but I really think that both Alito and Thomas will have their replacement choices well considered by Trump this time.

True but they are getting up in years and since we have both Trump and a pubbie senate, we will be better off in the long term with a coupla younger Justices.

Good point.

We’ll get Notre Dame type modernists - where it’s okay to be a godless Marxist.. just sometimes.

Trump's choices for SCOTUS were given to home by the Federalist Society and other conservative legal organizations.

Hopefully, Thomas and Alito themselves will offer the recommendation for their replacements.
