Justice Clarence Thomas, a reliable conservative vote on the Supreme Court, is mulling retirement after the presidential election, according to court watchers.

Thomas, appointed by former President George H.W. Bush and approved by the Senate after a bitter confirmation, has been considering retirement for a while and never planned to stay until he died, they said. He likes to spend summers in his RV with his wife.

His retirement would have a substantial impact on control of the court. The next president is expected to immediately replace the seat opened by the death of conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, providing a one-vote edge in the court that is currently divided 4-4.

I hope Clarence Thomas stays.

This next presidential term or the following one may see the end of the Constitution, regardless of of who wins.

I hope Clarence Thomas stays.

Good grief, talk about a disaster with him gone. Might as well burn the SC down and start a fresh.
