The Supreme Court could soon have another vacancy, according to a report Monday. Conservative High Court Justice Clarence Thomas is considering retiring from the bench following the November presidential election, the Washington Examiner reported, citing “court watchers.”
One of those "court watchers", by the way, happens to be Thomas' wife, who called the report bogus. It is my opinion that, even if Thomas wanted to retire instead of staying in office until he died, he could be talked into staying for a while longer. The last thing I want for SCOTUS is for it to end up as an extremist body, in one direction or the other. While I value Roe v. Wade, I also value the 2nd Amendment. There is a fine balance that, if upset, could actually erode our Constitutional rights, should political ideologues of one stripe or another end up controlling the court.
