1992 if Thurgood Marshall didn't retire

While I'm sure Clinton would still win thanks to the recession, would the absence of Clarence Thomas change the map?

He was the most left-wing member of the court and got replaced with the most right-wing member of the court. But his health was declining, and he only barely made it to the Clinton administration.

He didn’t really get replaced with the most right-wing member of the court unless you forgot Scalia.

In my opinion, if anything Thurgood Marshall not retiring would have helped President Bush, at least if it affected the fractured – even with one Democratic appointee and that unusually conservative and made over three decades previously – ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
