But the oldest is 87. I think he will stay around. I suspect the 87 year old will depart. Breyer.
Yes, we should expect Breyer to retire soon, IF Biden eventually wins. And Breyer has not (always?) been an "activist judge". It does astound me, as a non-lawyer, why "judicial activism" is supposedly some good thing.
It seems to me that ACB said it succinctly. It is Congress' job to legislate, and to do it right. 80% of them are lawyers, yes? It's not the SC job to rule on on "good" or "the right thing". It's only to rule on the Constitutional legality of any issue.
If Thomas is 1/2 as "partisan" as people believe, why wouldn't he wait and retire after a Republican becomes President?
Thomas retiring now would be a bad thing and I don't think he'll do it. I don't want more crap from the left and am happy with the young 3 Trump appointed.
$5 that if any Supreme Court member retires or passes Leader McConnell will decide the "new" precedent is they won't consider a nominee at all unless the President and Senate are held by the same party.
If everyone thought the same way, we wouldn't need judges.
In trying to understand your argument, are you asserting that judges are incapable of being impartial or non-partisan?
Yes. I am saying that. People are not robots. We each see things in our own way.
Why do you think we have 9 justices? Wouldn't one be enough if he were completely objective?

LOL! Biden could make vastly more money not being president (at least for the time he may be in office.) If he survives his term, he could do very well as an ex-president (look at Obama.)

Wake me up when both people don't want 6 figures just for waking up.

Clarence Thomas may be the easiest justice to pick off.
For years he has lied on his annual financial forms about his wives income, a great deal of which comes from those with an interest in his decisions on the court.
