Who will be the next US Supreme Court Justice that is going to step down?

Assuming Biden wins re-election to the US Presidency in 2024 and is succeeded by a Democrat.
Democrats hold onto the US Senate seats in AZ,MI,MT,NV,OH,PA,and WI in 2024 to end up with 50 seats with VP Harris breaking the tie vote.
Democrats hold onto the US Senate seats in GA and MI in 2026 and pick up NC to end up with 51 seats..
Democrats hold onto the US Senate seats in GA in 2028 and pick up NC and WI to end up with 52 seats.

Clarence Thomas?
Samuel Alito?

We should get a women to replace one of those Justices.

5 females
Sotomayor
Kagan
Coney Barrett
Brown Jackson
Whoever gets appointed by Biden.
4 males
Roberts
Gorsuch
Kavanaugh
Whoever gets appointed by Biden.

5 liberal 4 conservative.

Neither Thomas nor Alito will resign/retire while a Democrat is in the White House.

They will have to be carried out of the court feet first.

But, he appears to be healthy at 75 and could possibly serve another 10 years and keep taking free million dollar vacations.

..he could become the longest-serving member in the Court's history--eclipsing the record set by my all-time favorite Justice, William O. Douglas. GRRRrrrrRR! - - - - - -

PLEASE, God, let that bastard do a Scalia--SOON!

If we're lucky the Grim Reaper will visit the dark side of the court at least twice in the next year. Oops! Was that my public voice?
