Trump will announce his nomination for SCOTUS late this afternoon, almost a sure bet it will be Barrett, furthermore almost a sure bet she’ll be approved👍
I have a question and I’m not getting very satisfactory results searching, if, on the off chance Trump loses the election and the senate flips, could they nominate and approve yet another justice?
I’ve heard Thomas is making noises towards retirement 😈

Would he want to take it easy and enjoy life or would he want to die with that seat?
If the senate flips in the 2020 election, the new senators don't take office until January. Barring any complete foul ups in the current senate, the confirmation process will proceed as scheduled and if confirmed the nominee will fill the vacant seat. So until one becomes available the new senate will have to wait, unless they decide to go for broke and take the chance at political suicide and increase seats on the USSC.

My thoughts for the most part, I would think it’d be fine strategy to have Thomas retire in these circumstances and replace him with a younger justice. This would ensure a constitutional court for decades
