Thurgood Marshall’s message was clear, and shared by most justices before and since: life-tenured Supreme Court justices don’t like to be told when to retire or move on. If anything, hinting that it is time to go seems to stiffen justices’ resolve to stay. But presidents and others keep trying.

When the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall went to Bethesda Naval Hospital with pneumonia in 1970, doctors told him that President Richard Nixon wanted to see his medical records.
Marshall gave consent, but with one addendum: Marshall scrawled “NOT YET!” on the folder that went to Nixon. Marshall did not retire until 23 years later.
