They won’t need to pack the court. Alito and Thomas will retire in about 18 months, just after having upheld a national abortion ban. They’ll view it as their crowning achievement and walk into the sunset as GOP heroes. Then they’ll be replaced with like-minded ideologues in their mid-40s to ensure that the right wing of the court will remain intact for at least the next 20 years.
