- The Democratic midterm landslide that hands Democrats control of Congress from January has renewed attention on the Supreme Court's two oldest justices, Clarence Thomas, 78, and Samuel Alito, 76, and on the durability of its 6-3 conservative majority.
- Because the Senate confirms judicial nominees, a Democratic Senate could block any replacement President Donald Trump might name if a vacancy arose.
- Alito said last month he would stay for the current term, which began in October, even if Democrats retook the Senate, and Thomas has given no public sign of wanting to step down.
