(34,857 posts)1. Thomas hinted at retirement. I could see him retiring.
It's clear, though, the next president has the chance to change the court like no other president since Roosevelt.

Thomas within six years.

This is why I can't understand any person with progressive values not voting for Hillary...the courts are so important.

Ginsburg should if Dems take the WH and Senate, she really should have retired in 2009
