Clarence Thomas: No Retirements Planned

Law.com reports that Clarence Thomas said Tuesday that none of the members of the Supreme Court plan to retire. This occurred during a speech given in Georgia at the swearing in of the new chief justice of the state Supreme Court.

Members of the Senate apparently do not believe this. USA Today reports that, "Senate leaders said Tuesday that they have begun preparing for a vacancy on the Supreme Court, even though the justices wrapped up work for the year without any word of a retirement."
