I'm sure Thomas can't wait to get off the court, but I think Alito will grip that power in his sweaty little paws until Satan himself comes out of the ground to pull him down to Hell.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

He would replace Thomas and Alito.
I thought the concern was he’d super-pack it and virtually eliminate any left-wing tendencies. Is the thought that Thomas and Alito are just hanging on until a Republican gets back into office?

I could be wrong but I think there have been stories in the last year or two about how much Alito hates being in D.C. and wants to get out, it seems relatively likely that he'd retire at some point during a Trump term. While replacing him (or Thomas, too) doesn't shift the 6-3 balance, it locks it in firmly by switching out two guys in their mid-70s with two people 20 or 30 years younger. Doesn't really matter if he doesn't get to replace a liberal, but Sotomayor is 69 years old and liberals are starting to get antsy at the possibility of another RBG situation.

I think the concern is that some cases are at the Constitutional amendment level and we are unlikely get a new one of those ratified any time soon, so for core Dem issues like gun control, losing another Court seat to Trumpism would be catastrophic. Maybe Sotomayer should have left after Roe was overturned so that a replacement could have been made when abortion was the top issue and a Biden nominee had a fighting chance. That time is over.
"The fatal flaw of all revolutionaries is that they know how to tear things down but don't have a f**king clue about how to build anything."
Two-thirds of Republicans think Trump should have immunity from prosecution, but that number drops to just 45% when they're asked more generally whether "U.S. presidents" should have the same immunity. In fact, more than half of Republicans think presidents generally should not.
Thomas’ morality is akin to the aroma of the fart I just dropped
