Leave her alone, it is not for us to decide. JFC Bryer was 84 when he retired in 2022 Bev54 Apr 2024 #11

This is not about the sex. It's about the probability of a death and who is President. usaf-vet Apr 2024 #16

She is 69 and she has diabetes, I have an aunt who had diabetes, who drank too much, did not take Bev54 Apr 2024 #23

At 77. I have diabetes and a heart condition. I hope to live into my nineties. But planning ahead I establish a trust. usaf-vet Apr 2024 #35

You're not making the point you think you are. Breyer strategically retired the first opportunity he got. tritsofme Apr 2024 #19

He was 84 she is 69 that is the point. Maybe instead of all this hand wringing people should get out Bev54 Apr 2024 #21

This! mcar Apr 2024 #12

Name a Democratic-nominated Justice that Manchin and Sinema didn't support. brooklynite Apr 2024 #13

Okay SocialDemocrat61 Apr 2024 #17

I am not sure we could get her replacement through the Senate right now...with Sinema and Demsrule86 Apr 2024 #24

Her retirement could be contingent upon the confirmation of her successor. tritsofme Apr 2024 #29
