For the sake of all of us, Sonia Sotomayor needs to retire from the US supreme court (Yes, they are very worried)

Forget Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It is Sonia Sotomayor who is the greatest liberal to sit on the supreme court in my adult lifetime. The first Latina to hold the position of justice, she has blazed a relentlessly progressive trail on the highest bench in the land.

[Az Joe]

Okay, now it is time to remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg. To recall how RBG, who had survived two bouts of cancer, refused to quit the court despite calls to do so from leading liberals during Barack Obama’s second term office. To hark back to her insistence, in multiple interviews, that it was “misguided” to insist she retire and that she would only stand down “when it’s time”. To recollect how, on her deathbed in 2020, she told her granddaughter that her “most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed” – and how it made no difference whatsoever! Donald Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett as RBG’s replacement just eight days after her death, and Senate Republicans confirmed Barrett to RBG’s vacant seat just eight days before election day.

“It is Sonia Sotomayor who is the greatest liberal to sit on the supreme court in my adult lifetime”

She’s a moron!

[TigersEye]

relentlessly progressive = 100% anti-American

[Dilbert San Diego]

Ginsburg was trying to outlast Trump.

Sotomayor may well be trying to outlast Trump, assuming he’s reelected.

Stay tuned.

[gundog]

Could the Senate stall a replacement, as they did with Garland’s nomination?

[Az Joe]

Dems control the Senate now.

[Nateman]

That Jackson judge is the biggest commie of all. Where is the love for this evil firehouse of Socialism?

[struggle]

She’s type one diabetic and I’m sure her doctor is probably leaking to them that she’s in a lot of trouble

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

Sonia Sotomayor is only 69 years old. Her diabetes must be pretty bad if her supporters want her to retire.

[irishjuggler]

It’s cute that they’re pretending there’s a chance they’ll let Trump win.

[Jonty30]

She has had to be ambulanced out of the Supreme Court twice, to my understanding.

[Jonty30]

Ginsburg was expecting Hilary to win and she was hoping for a trifecta of a female judge retiring and a female leftist replacement nominated by the first female President.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The Wise Chubby Chola

[frank ballenger]

True. Statement nearly works if the writer were “born yesterday.” But wouldn’t have had time to become an adult. Not that Dems are adults.

She is a disgrace to the Court.

[frank ballenger]

Apparently spite gives off enough energy to keep some shriveled up old Leftists going. Geriatric energizer bunnies.
Like Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein and Mitch they won’t get off the stage until dragged off.

Dem. US Rep. John Dingell left office on January 3, 2015. As of that date, Dingell had served with 2,453 different U.S. Representatives and under 10 Presidents in his career. Dingell served in Congress for more than 59 years, retiring as the longest-tenured member of Congress in the history of the United States. Died at 92 years old after retiring.

[gundog]

I suppose it’s too much to hope that a nominee would be such a disaster that a few Dems would hold out.

[Paladin2]

She’s butt a wide Latina [Latinx?].

[Paladin2]

Redistricting in Mich. over the decades gave him [and his survivor commie wife] a ‘Rat slave plantation that has steadily moved west over the years to encompass The Peoples’ Republic of Ann Arbor [now a hotbed of antisemitism].

[DeplorablePaul]

Too late. Biden Rule: No Supreme Court picks during an election year

[Reno89519]

Let her stay until the new year.
