They treat their own people almost as badly as they treat republicans....A rich democrat donor could easily pay her off.Calls are ramping up for the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. The idea is that if she steps down, outgoing President Joe Biden will be able to appoint a new, Democrat justice, who will fill her shoes—instead of risking her departure under a Trump administration. Some pundits have even floated vice president and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris as her replacement.
It was on Election Night, after a Trump victory became apparent, the calls for her retirement began. "Sotomayor should retire tomorrow and let the lame duck Senate confirm her replacement," said Miranda Yaver, an assistant professor of health policy and management at the University of Pittsburgh.
"This would probably be a good day for Sotomayor to retire," said editor of The American Prospect David Dayen the day after Election Day.
