Thomas has been the single most consistently conservative justice on the Supreme Court. There’s no guarantee his replacement would be nearly as conservative.
Even Justice Thomas wouldn’t be able to know for sure how anyone would vote once on the Supreme Court. I would rather keep him around for as long as he is capable because he’s truly the conservative anchor on the Supreme Court.

True, but I wouldn't want to take the chance that he becomes the next RGB, working himselfe to death to try and make it past a D president.
Why wouldn’t the Trump team talk with Justice Thomas about candidates for his replacement? Seems reasonable.
