Trump, 79, Hints That Supreme Court Justices Are Too Old

Donald Trump has floated the prospect of reshaping the Supreme Court again, suggesting that some of its most senior conservative justices should step aside because of their age.

Amid speculation about the futures of justices Samuel Alito, 76, and Clarence Thomas, 77, Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo asked Trump on Tuesday if he had a shortlist of people to nominate to the bench, should there soon be a vacancy.
