Here is a thread from when he Justice Souter retired:

Souter to retire- let the speculation begin!

“WASHINGTON - Supreme Court Justice David Souter plans to retire, sources told NBC News Thursday night.” He’s been on the bench about 19 years now. Who will be nominated to replace him?

There was some talk that Thomas and Alito would retire shortly after Trump was elected, but I think both have waited too long to get their revenge on perceived enemies to go that quickly now.

I think Thomas might retire soon, he is under more heat than any Justice since that one that resigned in disgrace around 1969. No, I can’t remember his name, I was a little kid, I only know about it at all thanks to John Oliver.

It was Abe Fortas in 1969.
