The justice most likely to retire or die during Biden's first four years is Thomas being the oldest. That would leave 8 justices and if Biden or another dem wins in 2024, it could bee eight years with only those justices if the GOP continues to control the Senate. In the latest SCOTUS decision, the vote was 5-4 , with Roberts not only voting with the liberals, but rote a scathing decent. So if Thomas leaves any lower court decision that favors the liberals on the court could end up with a 4-4 tie and the decision of the lower court would stand. this could continue for the next 6 years if the GOP does as stated.
