Apparently not.

After reading my latest Post report, @hughhewitt tells his radio audience this morning that he hears from several leading conservatives that Justice Alito, 70, is considering retirement, and adds that he also hears the Alito family is ready to leave Washington, D.C.

On the plus side, the replacement could hardly be worse than Alito.

My thinking exactly. Given his voting record, I’m not sure you could find a worse selection. Maybe a clone of Clarence Thomas?

2020:What, have you been asleep this whole year?

Only just two or three decades younger, which just makes it harder to change the court over.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “tempting fate”? Because this is how you get Justice Stephen Miller.

Obviously all new appointments that require confirmation will have to wait till after the election due to the GOP’s Merrick Garland rule.

They just got done filling every empty judge slot. Including the ones he blocked for years during President Obama’s two terms.

Wave Of Young Judges Pushed By McConnell Will Be 'Ruling For Decades To Come'

McConnell has got to be one of the most successful (in a scumbag way) politicians of all time.

[Miramon]

I guess that will only apply to SCOTUS then, if Alito or someone else retires.

[Alstein]

I’d love to see the Dems stack the lower courts as well. Just add 50% judges to dilute the effects of Trump judges

Move all the Trump Judges to like Alaska districts.

Turtle has already stated that, if the same situation arises again but this time, it’s a conservative justice who retires, then all of y’all can go fuck yourself.

[Menzo]

He literally said that it’s different because the same party controls the Senate and Presidency this time. Zero shame.

I hope a series of very unfortunate and emotionally traumatic things happen to Mitch McConnell in an order optimized to continue the chain of suffering for as long as possible.

[Calelari]

He is one of the few creatures befouling this Earth whose existence cause me to wish Hell existed.

[MikeJ]

So are the chances of flipping Texas if only people 65+ can vote absentee? Can other states copy that rule?

[Woolen_Horde]

The Court rules that states may force electors to support popular vote winner. Good-bye, faithless electors.

[Skipper]

Over/under on Trump tax returns status?

[MrGrumpy]

No more decisions today (the other case released today is the government cannot carve out exceptions banning robocalls for debt collectors)
