Anybody Know Who The Next To Retire *Conservative* SCOTUS Justices Are?

[BlooInBloo]

I know a couple of the moderate/liberal side are on the homestrech, but those appointments just let us hold serve. What's the expectation for conservative retirements?

1. Never -- they stay till they die.

I can't remember the last time a winger justice retired. Help anyone?

2. Right.

Scalia is 73... the rest are younger. I don't see them voluntarily budging. But one really never knows. Things in life can be unexpected.

3. Gawd - replacing Scalia would be soooooo sweet.

4. Roberts and Alito are much younger, so is Clarence Thomas.

* appointed young judges so that they would be there on the court for generations.

6. Scalia and Thomas are getting on

And neither one of them looks in the pink of health. Barely suppressed personal rage has an insidious way of eating away at a person. For some of the Supreme Court folks, every noxious respiration is an exhalation of pure spite and malice at a world that isn't nearly as taken with their legal acumen as they are. I don't see any of them resigning, though; we'll have to cart their carcasses out of their chambers feet first when they expire from bilious overload.

I recommend doubled or even tripled hazmat suits for the luckless bastards who draw that duty.

7. I'm afraid the next likely two in-line are Stevens & Ginsberg.

The fearsome foursome show no signs of slowing.
