Court, not the Trump Court.

He was a useful idiot for this. It's also why McConnell isn't fighting to keep him. He hates the guy and has his majority locked up for the rest of his career unless something truly unforeseen were to happen.

Thomas is the only conservative Justice who you could imagine leaving the Court before McConnell leaves the Senate, and even then it would be 5-4.
