7. I'd expect scalia to stick around - WAAAAAAAAY past his prime. Just because.

Because he feels some sort of pseudo-messianic mission is at work here to ensure that the Supreme Court remains horridly CONservative. AND because he's just that arrogant. This guy wrote the book on arrogant! But make no mistake - he won't go willingly til there's a republi-CON in the White House. He won't risk his replacement being named by a Dem. He's THAT partisan. It'd have to be some illness or family crisis or some such thing over which he has no control, that forces him to resign before he damn well feels like it. He won't go voluntarily, just because he might be WAY old enough.

Don't misunderstand - I DO NOT wish him ill. But I sure wish he'd step down. Get that really disgraceful and utterly Troglodyte mentality and agenda OFF the high bench. And wouldn't he love to go on the mashed potato circuit and cash in with speaking engagements and book deals galore?

Hey fat tony, ALLLLLL THAAAAAATTTTT AWAAAAAAAAAAITS YOOOOOOOOO... All you have to do is step down and pony up. All your rich little friends on the wrong-wing extremist "think tank" and "foundation" scene would welcome you with lucrative fellowships and elder-statesmen positions and seats on all their boards of directors. They'd practically canonize you at Liberty "University"! They'd appoint you president of the whole works by acclamation! Regent "University" too! You'll be richer than trump! You won't have to waste another minute of your precious time suffering all those annoying nuisance arguments put forth by attorneys and Solicitors General from the enemy camp while you sit on the bench and sneak your game of Angry Birds or text somebody you're not supposed to, or jerk off under your robes every day. AND you can hide in the shadows of the "private sector" instead of being in a public-works crucible that all the newspeople keep track of, and you can have all the privacy and wheeling/dealing you can eat. Which, as we know from the size of your ego and the history of your appetite, is quite substantial.

C'mon, tony. DO IT. DO IT NOW while you're still pretty healthy and have a lotta livin' yet to do! Go! The world's yer oyster! Think of how fat the fat tony retirement fund will engorge and all the ways you can go out and have fun spending it, and there'll always be more! That CONservative fan base just won't quit and Pox Noise will be riiiiight (LOL, get it?) there beside you, just stokin' those fires! You'll be richer than the kochs! And you'll be out of range of all those idiotic critics and stupid do-gooders - they won't care about you anymore and they'll forget all about you. Outta sight, outta mind, dontchaknow.

C'mon, tony. DO IT. You know you want to...
