Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is not going to take directions from discontented liberals.
Since last year, progressives have demanded that Sotomayor, 70, needs to retire from the Supreme Court so that President Joe Biden can nominate a young liberal justice in her place. Democrats are angry about the court's current composition, which includes six conservative justices and three liberals, and they fear another Ruth Bader Ginsburg situation: a liberal justice not retiring only to pass away while still on the court, thus allowing a Republican president to nominate a conservative justice to replace a liberal one.
The demand for Sotomayor's retirement took on new life last week after Donald Trump's resounding victory.
It's a "hair-on-fire" moment for Democrats, Politico reported. Not only are there demands coming from progressives on social media, but Democratic members of the Senate are "actively engaging" in a conversation about how to push Sotomayor into retirement before Biden's presidency ends and the next Congress is sworn in, according to Politico.
Democrats so much want Sotomayor to retire that Bakari Sellers, a former Democratic state lawmaker turned liberal pundit, even floated the possibility of forcing her out and replacing her with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Wait......wut? Replace her with Kamala Harris? Actually, that might work considering the other buffoon they appointed does not even know what a woman is. I reckon Kamala is the official coup d'état replacement whore from hell. And judging by what we saw strong arming Biden, they should have no trouble getting the job done.
If I were her, I would hire body guards till Trump takes power.
