Mere days after Justice Neil Gorsuch was seated on the Supreme Court, restoring the panel to full strength, a top Senate Republican said the court could soon be down a member once again – in turn giving President Trump another big appointment.
“I would expect a resignation this summer,” Sen. Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told Iowa’s Muscatine Journal.
Grassley, R-Iowa, said there was a "rumored" retirement in the offing, though he wouldn't disclose which justice was considering stepping down.

Chuck Grassley expects Supreme Court resignation 'this summer'
I am expecting at least TWO Supreme Court resignations in the next two years...Kennedy (probably this summer) and Thomas (who has been and associate justice for 25 years). If RBG or Breyer (84 and 79 years old respectively) resigns as well...the Supreme Court will be 6-3 Conservative for generations.
Thank you Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Democrats for teeing up that nuclear option.
