He is 70. Insiders say he wants off. Doesn't need to pull a Ginsburg and stick it out till next term. Need to refresh him with a young black conservative. Any suggestions. Is this akin to finding a unicorn?

He's going to do it. He's not foolish like RBG. He sees the mistake she made. He wants to enjoy his golden years. All he has to make sure is that Trump replaces him with an equally conservative Justice.

Why does his replacement have to be black?

Because we live in an imperfect world.

Amul Thapar is his likely replacement (if we go down the identity politics route where a minority has to replace a minority). He's a very young, very conservative Indian American judge.

Nope. Justice Thomas slogged through for years with just Scalia on his side. He now has youthful conservative support on the court, he has a team. He ain’t going nowhere.

Liberals were saying dumb shite like this back in 2009-2010 with RBG thinking they would hold the White House and senate forever and look where they are now heaving into barf bags praying they can hide RBG long enough to get to 2020 election day.

You're an absolute moron if you want to risk a SCOTUS seat on one presidential election and multiple senate elections in the same cycle just because you don't want to let go of the guy holding it.

To stick it to those racist Democrats.

Forcing them to go on television and try and take apart a decent Black man would be great optics....
