Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who will turn 80 this year, acknowledges that he is thinking about retirement. But he will not say when that might come.
"At age 79, you can't help but think about retirement," he told NBC's "Today" show in an interview airing today. "Your life expectancy isn't what it once was. And you've got to think about the possibility of retirement."
Asked whether he would remain on the Supreme Court, he said: "I'll just stick with what I just said."
Rehnquist is not the oldest member of the court. Justice John Paul Stevens will turn 84 next month and is still a spry bridge player and golfer.
