All the telltale clues a top Supreme Court justice is considering an exit that could grant Trump sweeping power

A Supreme Court justice nominated by a Republican president is showing signs that he may retire.

Justice Samuel Alito, 75, who has served on the Supreme Court since January 2006 after being nominated by President George W Bush, is speculated to be considering retirement.

He recently celebrated 20 years on the court at the end of January - a milestone achieved by just a fraction of justices.

The typical term has averaged around 16 years, though since the 1970s, with improvements in medicine, the typical tenure can extend much longer. According to historic averages, justices tend to retire in their late seventies to early eighties.

That's 'usually a very good milestone on which to retire,' Mellisa Murray, a legal scholar and law professor at NYU, recently said on the Strict Scrutiny podcast. 

Also to be considered: the impending midterm elections.

Republicans are expected to take a beating in the November elections.

President Donald Trump has signaled his worries repeatedly, perhaps at nauseam, noting multiple times this year how the midterms are typically won by the party that does not hold the presidency - a historically correct nod to how voters almost always reward the party out of power with additional seats in Congress.

Could be worse, it could be Clarence Thomas.

They both need to retire now, if they can be replaced.
