I really don't want to see Thomas retire, but if he wants to it would be better to retire now and let Trump nominate his successor than wait for who ever comes next.

We can only hope. I hope that if it happens, the Republicans in the Senate don't dick around trying to look "fair". You know its going to happen. Will sicken me.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

You know, with all this "hinting" about a replacement...
Just think of the conspiracy theories that would ignite if Ginsburg passes away in May.
Cities would burn. They're all Democrat cities, but they would be on fire. One can only hope.

Ginsberg and Breyer, Kennedy and Thomas hopefully in that order. Thomas is a good Constitutionalist with a brilliant mind. Ginsberg is a liberal POS washed out old bag. Let's get this court stacked with young strict Constitutionalists. Let's stop this decline NOW so that my children never suffer another obongo the magnificent negroid.

It'd be a fitting end for one that continuously stabs the Constitution in the back and no autopsy necessary. The bonus would be the burning of cities.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Question, if a Justus is ill, and can not 'work", report for duty, can the judge stay on the court till they die?

I will believe it when I see it (another pick by Trump)... I fell certain Ginsburg would never retire unless a commie replacement was evident.

Gingsburg and Breyer are both on record as stating they won't retire until a Democrat is back in the WH.
Kennedy has made various references to retirement coming sooner than later.

I'm still liking the odds of Gingsburg dying in the next 2 years. God willing

I'll ask again, could Ginsburg stay on the court even in a hospital bed? Not "working", just blocking a new appointment.

yes I believe so, it's a lifetime appointment, I seem to recall a news story years back about someone being brought in on a hospital gurney for a vote.

Statistically speaking based on age and gender she can expect to live about 7.7 more years, so outliving the current senate and even the administration is a good bet.
She has had a history of cancer (of course so do a lot of folks at age 84) , but apparently works out regularly so not being a life insurance guy it doesn't look promising for her seat.
The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
