I ran across an article that reminded me that Justice Sotomayor should consider retiring; she is past 70 and has diabetes. America can not afford another extreme Justice like the three that Trump appointed. At the same time, I don’t expect Trump to prevail in 2024. Who knows what the voters will decide? Democrats control the Senate now; they may not do so next year.
Sotomayor seems to be too cozy with the other Catholic woman who was appointed by Trump,
Justice Sonia Sotomayor will turn 70 in June. If she retires this year, President Joe Biden will nominate a young and reliably liberal judge to replace her. Republicans do not control the Senate floor and cannot force the seat to be held open like they did when Scalia died. Confirmation of the new justice will be a slam dunk, and liberals will have successfully shored up one of their seats on the Court—playing the kind of defense that is smart and prudent when your only hope of controlling the Court again relies on both the timing of the death or retirement of conservative judges and not losing your grip on the three seats you already hold.
