Sounds like a few Dems are letting it be known they’d like Sotomayor to retire now.

She won't. The arrogance of certain people in power will never allow them to step down even if they have health issues that would warrant it.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

I am sorry but the stupidity of the argument that we should force people to retire before they are ready is proof the Supreme Court is ridiculous. Forcing retirement on someone just so your guy can make a Supreme Court nomination was wrong when Trump did it and it is wrong with Biden doing it.
I get it...but it is proof the system itself is broken."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Yet, Kennedy had no issues doing it. Despite how libs love him he was still a Republican through and through and wanted Kavenaugh to replace him instead of some liberal.Originally posted by Handyman View Post**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

Sotomayor isn't RBG - having Type 1 diabetes that is well managed isn't the same as having cancer multiple times. She's also about 10 years younger, so it's not the same immediacy.Originally posted by Handyman View Post
But since we know the GOP doesn't play fair (otherwise either Garland would be on the court or Barrett would not), I have no problems with the Dems acknowledging it is an issue.Comment

18-year terms, but yes. And then they become a circuit court justice thereafter so it doesn't violate the constitution.Originally posted by Kepler View PostComment

I'm fine with pressuring her to retire. I agree probability of her dying is relatively low, but the consequences are enormous.
If you truly believes that it's important to maintain a liberal voice on the court, it's perfectly fine to voice an opinion that a justice should step down.
Aside from the country being ****ed if trump wins, we'd see a refresh of the conservative olds on the court. I would think Thomas steps down near the end of that term and alito probably 50:50.
If we're going to survive, we need to learn from past mistakes.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1
