'I'm not retiring,' Justice Clarence Thomas says in a rare public appearance.

In a rare public appearance this week, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas quashed speculation that he could be contemplating retirement, while a Republican is in the White House."I'm not retiring," Thomas said in response to a hypothetical question raised during an event at Pepperdine University School of Law.

Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas sits for an official photo with other members of the US Supreme Court in the Supreme Court in Washington, DC, June 1, 2017. The 70-year-old justice -- famously silent during public sessions of the court – has long been rumored to be considering an exit from the bench.

"Let's fast forward to 20 years from now. Twenty years from now at your retirement party," said University President-elect James A. Gash."20 years?" Gash asked, trying to continue.In 30 years, Thomas would be 100 years old."Now, I won't have any say about that," Thomas replied. He is currently the third oldest justice on the Supreme Court. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 86; Justice Stephen Breyer is 80.

Too Bad !

Shame on you

You sir come from the same lineage and line as Stephen from Django, and I don't mean black people, I mean the Negroes who could help other Negroes while they lived in Master's house but refused to because they didn't have the intestinal fortitude to help their own, that's you sir

Bummer for US!

I wish they would impeach him.

Please wait two years, Clarence, thanks.

Just wait 2-3 years. Then maybe?

He really REALLY should. He’s quite the embarrassment

We don't want you to retire right now, either. At least not for another two years.

I don't understand. What brought this on?

I'm glad. I appreciate your strong, consistent opinions. You also have a rare gift for listening. If only Sotomayor would give it a try!

Damn! Double Damn!

I still haven’t seen a recent pic/vid of RBG. 😎
