'I'm not retiring,' Justice Clarence Thomas says in a rare public appearance.
In a rare public appearance this week, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas quashed speculation that he could be contemplating retirement, while a Republican is in the White House."I'm not retiring," Thomas said in response to a hypothetical question raised during an event at Pepperdine University School of Law.
Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas sits for an official photo with other members of the US Supreme Court in the Supreme Court in Washington, DC, June 1, 2017. The 70-year-old justice -- famously silent during public sessions of the court – has long been rumored to be considering an exit from the bench.
"Let's fast forward to 20 years from now. Twenty years from now at your retirement party," said University President-elect James A. Gash."20 years?" Gash asked, trying to continue.In 30 years, Thomas would be 100 years old."Now, I won't have any say about that," Thomas replied. He is currently the third oldest justice on the Supreme Court. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 86; Justice Stephen Breyer is 80.
