We like to speculate, but my educated guess is that Justice Thomas is not going to leave the bench by choice.

He's having a good time.

He fights every day.

I think when he shows up there every day, he does it with such glee for his haters that I think he's somebody who's going to stay as long as possible.

You know, we have no indication that Justice Alito is even thinking about it, but I think he would step down before Justice Thomas would.

So I think June could be a very interesting month on that front.

Right.

And listen, as much as the court wants to be apolitical, they're not...

Blind.

Listen, they get the political trends.

They get the political conversation.

And you do have to think about that.

Remember when Justice Ginsburg was being pressed so hard by the left to step down and it made her dig in her heels.

I mean, there were op eds telling her she had to go.

There were law professors calling for her to go.

And she was like, no, sir, I will go on my own timeline and I'll go when I'm good and ready.

And then the left was so furious with her.

Obviously passing away.

Well, she was still holding that seat.

And, you know, President Trump obviously getting to replace her.
