WASHINGTON − Will President Donald Trump get the chance to nominate a fourth Supreme Court justice?

Speculation, particularly among liberal commentators, has started to swirl around possible retirement plans of Justice Samuel Alito.

Alito, the second-oldest justice and one of the most conservative, joined the high court 20 years ago.

“That is usually a very good milestone on which to retire,” Melissa Murray, a law professor at New York University, said on the latest episode of the podcast Strict Scrutiny that she co-hosts.

I sure hope not.

1. It doesn't matter, as long as Dems have the courage to expand the court in 2029.

Nothing will change, and the damage of the Trump era cannot be repaired unless the MAGA majority on the court is neutralized.

I am only donating to senate candidates willing to kill the filibuster and expand the court.

3. They won't n/t

4. It's up to us to DEMAND that they do

We must begin by ensuring no pro-filibuster Dems win their primaries.

2. Probably two more. Out the door before Dems take the Senate. /nt

6. Nah

I doubt Thomas retires yet. It's been whispered for quite some time that he wants the record of longest serving justice, which means he needs to stay on another few years.

I'm sure Alito will retire this year though. His wife apparently wants him at home more.

5. A lateral move

7. Can't replace him this year, it's an election year.

According to Mitch.
