They don't all serve until death, advanced health issues (more common in old age) can result in some stepping down. Not taken into account in this table.

I'm pretty sure Ginsburg would rather be dead than pass her seat to a pick of Trump.

They probably get better healthcare than average, and take better care of themselves than average, so I'd actually think it would be better than the actuarial tables let on.

Yes, probably. But the hate in her heart will consume her given time.

Well he already gets the one nomination that Obama rightfully earned, so the numbers need to be adjusted to account for that.

If Trump were an ordinary president with an actual, coherent ideology I would expect Kennedy, if not both Kennedy and Thomas, to at least consider stepping down for replacement during his term. With Trump being Trump, maybe the incentive to retire won't be there since they won't have any reason to particularly trust who he would nominate in their place. I know that's something that would particularly concern Kennedy. I don't know if anyone could possibly be a downgrade from Thomas unless he/she was younger.
