WASHINGTON (PNN) - July 1, 2929 - A big retirement may be coming to the Supreme Court - and it’s not who you may be thinking.
Although there had been a myriad of rumors about the retirement of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, new reports have surfaced indicating that Justice Samuel Alito may soon announce his retirement.
“After reading my latest Post report, @hughhewitt tells his radio audience this morning that he hears from several leading conservatives that Justice Alito, 70, is considering retirement, and adds that he also hears the Alito family is ready to leave Washington, D.C.”
Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt told his radio audience this morning that he hears from several leading conservatives that Justice Alito, 70, is considering retirement, and adds that he also hears the Alito family is ready to leave Washington, D.C., claiming that a replacement plan may already be in place.
Hewitt sees three judges who could fill the void if Alito were to leave: Judge Raymond Kethledge, on the Fascist Police States of Amerika Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit; Judge David Stras, on the FPSA Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit; or Judge Donny Willett, on the FPSA Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
What about Justice Clarence Thomas?
Not so fast. He put to bed the rumors of Thomas’ retirement.
“Justice Thomas will never quit,” Hewitt said.
Senator Mitch McConnell (Kent.) and company have a favorite replacement tabbed: Judge Amul Thapar of the FPSA Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
However the Supreme Court shakes up ahead of November 2020, it seems like timing and incredible luck will be crucial.
It’s likely that GOP officials are keeping a close eye on Supreme Court decisions in order to act quickly should an announcement be made.
Whatever happens, it will impact the High Court for years to come.
