Texas Sen. Ted Cruz anticipates another vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court will arise in a matter of months.
“I think we’ll have another Supreme Court vacancy this summer,” Cruz said at the Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday. “If that happens, as much as the left is crazy now, they will go full Armageddon meltdown because the next vacancy is where we’ll have the ability to act and restore basic constitution protections.”
Though Cruz was not more specific, as a former law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist, he enjoys access to a network of former clerks privy to the plans of their former bosses.
Rumors have abounded since fall 2016 that Justice Anthony Kennedy may seriously be mulling retirement.
The Trump administration has quietly encouraged Kennedy to retire in recent weeks, sending signals meant to coax him into leaving the bench.
Other rumors have suggested Justice Clarence Thomas is preparing to depart the bench. His wife, Ginni Thomas, has expressly disavowed such suggestions.
Breyer and Ginsberg will be 83 this year. Alito is 79 this year. Thomas is 69 (Think)
Trump, assuming he is reelected, has the opportunity to replace 5 justices including the current vacancy.
It would be nice if Sotomeyer and Kagan 20 years older.
Breyer is also quite old. As the Dems are likely to be in worse shape in the Senate after the mid-terms, it would make sense to get out while the getting is good.
I can’t see Thomas calling it quits unless he believes that he is no longer up to doing a better job than his replacement would.
Please be Kennedy. Please please please...
I thought he was supposed to be finished.
If he's out it will be welcome out.
I would love to see Ginsburg go and be replaced by someone on President Trump’s list!!!
After all, Ginsburg is one of the two justices who presided at a “gay” “wedding”, and then refused to recuse herself in the big “gay marriage” case!
Heeey...
I’m counting on you. “:^)
LOL
Sorry man, I missed this one.
I think you are mixing up ALito and Kennedy. ALito is only 66.
The Zodiac killer is planning out his next move... Mwahahaha!
Oooookay.
“:^)
Wish big!
Trump also needs to fill the federal district and circuit court vacancies with solidly conservative, original intent constitutionalists. Enough of these left wingers with black robe fever like the meathead in Seattle who was offended by the refugee moratorium EO.
RIP Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg.
He is...
“Alito is 79 this year.”
Wow, I had no idea he was that old.
Don’t forget that Kennedy inflicted the absurdity of gay “marriage” on this country.
Agree, I think it’s Ruth Buzzi as she’s already got one foot in.

Unfit. Unfit, I say!
Prayers for your scenario.
