Rumors” are being put out there to stampede the Dems to the polls in Nov. .... if Trump is re-elected, he’ll fill those slots. This is trying to ramp up the vote for the Dementocrat Biden.

Seems like it would energize people on the right to vote to protect the court from a wholesale left wing takeover.

I didn’t think Alito was that old.

You are probably correct. Seems she has not changed her ways.

[RBG is a biomechanical Cyborg, running on a leftist AI program. She can’t die, because she’s not alive]

Have we considered that RBG is Skynet?

“The virus has infected Skynet!”

“Skynet IS the virus!”

We can say with certainty that Kristanna Loken is not RBG.

On the other hand, the T-X could take any form.

Uh oh, Kristanna knows Krav Maga.

Would Alito & Thomas really retire for the good of the Country???

I would agree on Thomas since he's old but Alito is 70???!!

If so then I also agree, let's get 2 more Conservative Justices

Actually, they have only until Jan 2 or whenever the first workday is in 2021. That is when the new Congress is sworn in. So, if the dems take over the Senate, it will be vicious. Thomas has said he won’t retire. I was hoping both Thomas and Alito would have retired last year, but with the republicans inability to pick truly conservative justices, it may be for the worse.

Filibusters aren’t allowed for SC justices votes. It is a straight up or down simple majority.

It’s a POTUS election year. ...No new SCOTUS Justices until after the election.

At least they won’t be murdered, as Justice Scalia was.

I’ve seen corpses which look more alive than Ginsburg.

He could simply be fed up with the nonsense of his name being part of the Court being tied into all the recent insane rulings. The Court entire is what decides, and I could understand how unconscionable that would be to conservative justices.

Why would Alito and/or Thomas even allow such speculation in these turbulent times in an election year, knowing the ramifications to conservatives?

Why aren't stories of rumors of RBG retiring or Breyer retiring? Because even if they are considering it, the Dem media keep it quiet so as not to give any fresh meat to conservatives...

I thought it was the end when Scalia died. But it was still a bit before the end.
