There’s been some talk of Clarence Thomas retiring so as to give Trump another appointment. While I’d hate to see him go, he deserves to have a wonderful retirement. And we do need another YOUNG conservative to hold his seat.

If Ruth buzzy tips over or retires, Justice Thomas May retire. I’m betting he doesn’t go before buzzy. IMO

It'll be tough to find a better candidate as a replacement.

If GOP holds the Senate, and no other justice dies or retires for health reasons, 90% chance that Thomas will retire at the end of the session. He’s hinted for years - would be the perfect time.

Thomas is my favorite Justice & the one I am closest to ideologically, albeit he is to my left :-)

If we retain the Senate, and especially if we increase our margin, it would make sense for Thomas to retire, and Trump to replace him with whoever Thomas thinks would best carry on his legacy.
