So I started a pool at work... when do you think the first Supreme Court Judge will retire?

[DrZeeLit]

I'm saying within six months.
That was a gut feeling.
I think a few of them have been hanging on by their fingernails waiting for a Democrat.

I'm in the pool with Ruth Bader Ginsburg at six months.

Anybody else wanna go on record?

1. when is the session over?

I vote Stevens and Ginsburg ASAP after the session

[Aristus]

2. John Paul Stevens within six months.

Ginsburg, I give another 18n months, or so.

edit: capitalization

3. John Roberts within 30 years. nt

4. A more reasonable prediction is when will a justice die. n/t

[Zomby Woof]

5. Stevens will retire first

It is my wish that Scalia and Thomas are the first to go, proving me wrong.

6. It's gotta be...

Justice Stevens.

Who will be the first rightward-tilting justice to depart?

In a surprise move, Scalia will retire next year...citing "ideological differences with reality."

[DrZeeLit]

10. Okay.... you made me laugh. First laugh of a long day. Thank you!

I only WISH for Scalia and Thomas.
Wouldn't that just MAKE the year?
House, Senate, Pres...and then... COURT!

Whoa!

7. I think Stevens and/or Ginsburg will resign at the end of this term

8. Here's hoping "living too well" will catch up to a couple of the fat cats.

Retirement isn't the only option.

9. Stevens, he is pretty old. But I'm hoping Ginsburg
