Imagine being not yet seventy years old and being told, not exactly politely, that in the interest of liberalism you have to be put out to pasture. When that message went out to Justice Stephen Breyer in 2021, he was at least over eighty when the leftists told him his time was up on the Supreme Court. With Justice Sonia Sotomayor, despite being over ten years younger than Breyer when he retired, Josh Barro writing for The Atlantic announced that it was time for her to withdraw in the interest of liberalism as you can see in "Sonia Sotomayor Should Retire Now."
The article says she turns 70 this year. Of course, that’s young for SC justices to retire. But I didn’t know she was that old.
Correction:
“Even if Biden wins, if he has a GOP senate it limits his ability to nominate radical judge candidates.”
I think you’re underestimating the RINOs in the senate. They work for the Democrats. For example:
Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) voted to confirm Kentanji Brown Jackson for SCOTUS.
They could nominate Kamaltoe and kill 2 birds with one stone.
Don’t listen to them, Oh Wise Latina. (Or is they a Wise Latinx?) Hang in there until next year, when President Trump and a Republican controlled Senate can fill your seat with a young conservative Justice.
That’s the thing about a Democrat female justice. They can get sick and on their death bead, MSM, their staff et al lie for them about working from home, blah, blah, when in truth they are likely already working from Hell.
What do venues and people like Atlantic do? Well, remember Justice Antonin Scalia?
The cause serves those at the top of the pyramid, sacrifice for the cause is for others. Only way the wise Latina leaves before diabetes does its work is if another leftist finds powerful leverage.
The issue is not her age, it is her chronic health problems, mostly related to her lifelong diabetes but also frequent falls. She has been hospitalized at least twice in recent years and now travels with her own medic.
Here’s the rationale: Biden needs to be replaced, but the DEM establishment knows that they cannot win the WH with Harris. So Harris has to go, but how? Enter the Sotomayor gambit. Sotomayor resigns, Biden nominates Harris as SCOTUS replacement. Biden then nominates _______ as VP, and THAT person will run as DEM Pres when Biden suddenly takes ill in the fall.
It’s probably too late for her to retire. Remember how Senate Republicans sat on the Garland appointment 293 days.
So in reality, she SHOULD retire. Trump will appoint the next justice.
Maybe the Atlantic Magazine needs to be retired!
why? she’s not old.
The Republicans do not control the Senate... She can retire at any time and Dems currently have majority in the Senate, so no GOP sitting on an appointment.
However Dems would want the appointment battle as close to the election as possible to gin up support for their turd.
She has a serious case of diabetes. If Trump gets elected this fall and she has to retire, he gets another Supreme Court seat to fill. The Dems are freaking out about that possibility.
An October surprise 😲
Sotomayor had been traveling with a medic recently
First, it requires judges to be historians a role for which they should be qualified enough to comprehend that the Founders did not, would not regard the definition of marriage to mean btwn the same sex.
Breyer wrote in the book. “Second, it leaves no room for judges to consider the practical consequences of the constitutional rules they propound.
Second, it means leaving room to consider the practical consequences of requiring all states, and thus all artists, businesses and venues, to contract to provide custom works or accommodation for the expressed purpose of committing sodomy.
And third, it does not take into account the ways in which our values as a society evolve over time as we learn from the mistakes of our past.”
And third, it must take into account the ways in which our values as a society evolve over time and not compromise traditional basic morality, as we learn from the mistakes of our past.”
