Justice Thomas has been a target since he was first nominated 1991. He refused to bow down to the masters of the democrat plantation and therefore had to go.
I expect that Thomas will resign next summer, so that Trump can replace him. He is not going to roll the dice on a democrat president getting elected in 2020 and replacing him with a far left wing liberal.
I hope he picks his own replacement.
If so, he’s already rolled the dice that the Republicans will retain control of the Senate; we’re in uncharted territory now that the precedent has been set that a SCOTUS justice can’t be confirmed whenever the president’s party doesn’t control the Senate.And, having done so, you might think that he would plan to remain until the summer of 2020. Just to retain the office and perquisites for another 2 years. And as an insurance policy against the premature death before 2020 of whoever would succeed him.
He’s 69. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Justices_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States
Buzzy Ginsberg should go first, also Kennedy.
