    Default Will Clarence Thomas Retire from the Supreme Court?!

    Don't let the door hit you on the way out, big guy.

    Unnamed sources have told Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard that Clarence Thomas is considering retiring from the Supreme Court after the 2016 election. They say Thomas never planned to stay on the Court until he died, and has been considering retirement for a while.

    After the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February, Thomas's retirement would leave only three conservatives on the Supreme Court: John Roberts, Samuel Alito, and Anthony Kennedy -- and Kennedy has sided with the liberals on numerous issues, most notably gay marriage. It is already perhaps a bit generous to call the current 4-4 court divided between conservatives and liberals, but without Thomas it would shift into true blue territory.

    The next president is expected to replace the seat left vacant by Scalia, and if Thomas retires, that would be two Supreme Court appointments right off the bat. And with two of the least popular major party nominees in history, half of America is almost guaranteed to end up very angry about the makeup of the court.

    ThreeDee is a useless taker who was unable to get a job with his Ju Co education, so he enlisted in the Washington State Air Farce so he wouldn't have to leave his parents.

    If you study the court and Thomas's role it has generally been over the years to give Scalia two votes. He rarely wrote opinions and when he did they basically said... what ever Scalia said.

    I suspect he finds it unpleasant to be there without his best buddy.

    I hope Thomas retires.

    I never heard 3D support Hillary. I will understand when you can not support your bogus claim with evidence.

    what a bunch of racists. I suspect that y'all will deny this, but it's true. maybe you dumbasses should actually read his dissent on Raich v. Gonzalez.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
