If he retires before November the political storm is going to be incredible.
I think both Alito and Thomas will come up in early spring 2021, and just say by July, they retire....it’ll be timed to the end of the normal hearing year for them. RBG and Breyer will try to hold until the very end of 2024.
He’d better retire soon for there to be time to get a replacement. It would be a good move. He’s 70, and it’s time. Gives us a younger replacement, who will sit for 25 - 30 years. And.....it’s a great campaign issue, played out right before the election, esp if Trump picks a woman.
