It's an interesting thought experiment. Some notable 55-and-under in 2033 include Grant, Bumatay, Oldham, Menashi, Murphy, Flowers, Hermandorfer. But state courts (e.g., Sarah Campbell, Jonathan Papik, Sarah Warren, John Couriel) should not be overlooked.
A Much Shallower Pool in 2033 The crushing defeats that Republicans suffered in the midterm Senate elections mean that the pool of attractive Supreme Court candidates will be dramatically shallower when a Republican president next has a good opportunity to appoint a Supreme Court justice.

One of the most shocking things from this WSJ video on the California high-speed rail is the decision to move the stations *four to five miles* from city center to cut costs. Dropping you off downtown is the biggest perk of the train! youtube.com/watch?v=zPiJKJuQ…

The Senate & the Presidency have not been split across different parties since 2015-2016. This has kept executive branch appointments & judicial nominations moving relatively freely for a decade. We're about to see how much of a retrenchment comes with divided power.
