I asked Google's Gemini AI...

"Is there a possibility in the next four years of a justice retiring and of the next president appointing another supreme court justice?"

And its answer...

Yes, there is a possibility of a Supreme Court justice retiring in the next four years and the next president appointing their successor. Here's why:

•     Age of Justices: Some of the current justices are of advanced age. Chief Justice John Roberts is 70, and Justice Clarence Thomas is 74. While both are currently serving actively, their age makes retirement a possibility within the next four years.
•     Recent Precedent: Justice Stephen Breyer's retirement in 2022 and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's appointment underscore that vacancies and appointments can occur during a presidential term.
•     Vacancy Mechanisms: A justice can retire voluntarily, or their seat can become vacant due to death or incapacity.

Therefore, there is a real possibility of a Supreme Court vacancy and subsequent appointment by the next president within the next four years.

Your vote this election year is going to have a lasting effect on the nation! Who do you want appoint the next justice? Trump or Harris?
