Julian Zelizer : Voters reelected Donald Trump and the Senate to firm Republican control of the Supreme Court .

Zelizer says the two oldest members of the court are both conservatives: Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito are 76 and 74 .

He says a strategic retirement or two on the court’s right flank is much more likely.

Julian Zelizer : Antonin Scalia ’s sudden and unexpected death in 2016 raised the prospect that Hillary Clinton , the Democratic presidential nominee that year , would appoint a fifth liberal justice to the Supreme Court .

Some on the left no doubt will push for Sotomayor , who is only 70 , to retire during the lame-duck period while Democrats still hold the White House and Senate .
