I hope that the Wise Latinx holds on until she drops dead, preferably sometime after Trump is sworn in again next January.

We should be worried that Thomas and Alito, the two most conservative justices on the court, are also the two oldest justices on the court. The 2024 election could not have higher stakes.

Amen. IMHO one of the most important issues in the November election is who will get to fill these seats. If Trump wins and the Republicans retake the Senate, then I expect that both Thomas and Alito will retire before the 2026 congressional election. If Trump wins, but the Dems hold onto the Senate, then I expect that they will both wait until after the 2026 election to see if the Republicans can take the Senate. If Biden wins, then they will both have to hold on at least another four years.

Naive?

Mitch kept Garland out. He did not waiver.

She’s a type 1 diabetic, and is 69 years old, odds are definitely not going to last through 2028 health wise, so the left know this, and know that Dems are not only likely going to lose the white house but are going to lose the Senate as well... so if they want to name another left wing activist nutjob they need to do it this year, and they know it.

They also need SOMETHING to rally the troops, because Biden is a dud... so trying to create a Supreme Court fight to rally the troops and get abortion in the mindset of the electorate.

So, I put odds well over 50% she will announce her retirement by late summer.

i don’t know about Alito, but Thomas is in very good health-healthy diet and lifestyle, etc. I’m over 70 and manage a business that requires physical work. I also follow an all-organic, paleo diet healthy lifestyle, like most people I know. Years sit easier on you if you don’t abuse your body with bad diet, extra weight and drugs that you really don’t need...

It is not unusual for someone with Type I diabetes to live into their 80’s if they have followed the proper diet and lifestyle recommended, but wide Latina was already in bad health when she got on the court-overweight, and other problems, too. i don’t see her making 80 at that rate.

"Clarence Thomas was born in 1948 so he is older than 74."
He was born in June 1948, so he is 75.

In Howie Carr’s Death Pool, should I pick Sotomayor or Francois of Argentina?

If Biden loses, there’s likely to be another Republian justice — maybe Barbara Lagoa, a Latina who was a finalist for the seat that eventually went to Amy oney Barrett? — so she’ be smart to retire now, while the babbler is still in office, as Breyer i, rather than ie in office, as Ginsberg did.
