If only he had a Republican Senate.
 
Those in power usually lose seats during the first midterm and the Senate races in '26 favor Democrats. So no guarantee Republicans will control the Senate in two years.

I wonder how, if at all, that will play into Thomas' and Alito's thinking about when to step down (if they have even thought about it).
 
Sotomayer is 70 but can't imagine she would step down baring some unforeseen health issue.
