Here's where I stopped reading the voxplanation:
" It takes five justices to make a majority that can do literally anything they want to US law."
Actually, that's not true. HERE's where I stopped reading:
"Supreme Court’s decision eliminating the constitutional right to an abortion."
The same asshats who claim there is no right to bear arms because "muskets" claim that abortion is in the Constitution.

She needs to wait for a Republican President and Senate.

Considering only politics, if she's going to retire, she has to do so in the next 24 months. I've read that the GOP has an easy path to Senate control in the 2024 elections. Even if the Democrats hold the WH, confirmation will be a challenge for any Dem-appointed candidate.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Speaking of which, I think demographic tables would give Thomas something approaching a 20% chance of mortality during this next Congress.
