This market will resolve to "Yes" if Clarence Thomas announces that he will retire from his position as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States by the specified date at 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The announced timing of his retirement may be immediate, at the end of the current Supreme Court term, or at any point in the future. Any qualifying announcement from Thomas will count for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether the announced retirement goes into effect. The resolution source for this market will be official announcements from Thomas or one of his official representatives.Justice Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court’s most senior associate justice at age 77, has shown no public or private signals of impending retirement, with sources close to him confirming in April 2026 that he does not plan to step down this year or soon after. Traders price near-term resolution windows through late 2026 at single-digit implied probabilities, reflecting his prior statements favoring service into the 2030s, consistent with his tenure since 1991 and the absence of term limits for Article III judges. President Trump has expressed preference for Thomas and Justice Alito to remain, avoiding confirmation fights. Recent court activity, including Thomas questioning counsel in September 2026 after years of relative silence, underscores ongoing engagement without reported health or institutional pressures. Any announcement would resolve solely on official statements from Thomas or his representatives, with longer-dated markets reflecting the historical unpredictability of Supreme Court retirements.
