Something to ponder on a Saturday.
All through the 2016 campaign Hillary kept saying the Supreme Court was an important consideration when selecting a president. And she was right as we have found these past years.
It occurred to me that if trump is elected he will convince Thomas and Alito to retire so he can replace them with much younger versions of themselves.
Which would keep the conservative majority in place for years to come.
With all the criticism the two men have received and the fact both men are in their 70’s they might just agree to retire if they are replaced with solid conservative judges.
What do you think? Would that be on the top of trump’s to do list if he’s elected?

There is no doubt!
I just wish they could get the impeachment through and have Thomas found guilty AND replaced by a Biden choice! Although the day after the election..... Before might be too explosive.

Presidents can nominate but they can’t just appoint. In order for your theory to happen the Republicans would need to win control of the Senate.

Presidents can nominate but they can’t just appoint. In order for your theory to happen the Republicans would need to win control of the Senate. The current majority in the Senate is razor thin. Manchin and Sinema changed their destination from Democrat to independent and there is no guarantee they keep their seats or they will be replaced by Democrats since they are from a red state and purple state leaning red. Which could very well mean the Democrats could lose the majority in the Senate. That being the case, trump could do and would do what I suggested in my OP. Which makes it even more important not to elect trump since there is no guarantee the Democrats can hold on to the razor thin majority they currently have in the Senate. .
