Are Alito and Thomas willing to step down?
Wouldn't the play be to enact term limits so that these judges won't have final say over shyt for the next 3 to 4 decades?
Alito and Thomas won't be on the bench much longer. I'd imagine both would consider retiring if Trump wins. They won't retire if Kamala wins but given that both have had health scares over the last 1-2 years it's not crazy to suggest they will be replaced before 2028 one way or another. Also worth noting Roberts has epilepsy and has fallen down stairs multiple times. That's 3 conservative judges who could potentially be replaced.
I would also hope that at least one liberal judge retires if Kamala wins, in order to replace them with a younger/healthier liberal.
