Sotomayor: Retire early?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Yeah, but they can call a session whenever they want.

Only Biden can do that.

 

[22lcidw]

Absolutely. Push, drag, whatever. Get her outa there and be quick about it

That would not be by protocol. We know that if the Progs won, they would have added at least three new judges. As a response Republicans should do it then. They will not though.

 

[Rawley]

Why?

Neither of them will even be into their 80s by the next election. They are also known quantities. Appointing new justices is always a crap shoot - Souter, Stevens, and to some extent Roberts, are ones that come to mind.

 

[Arlette]

"We need......"

What you need is a need is an enema.

You jerks wanted to pack the court.

Tough.

She'll goes when she goes.

Hopefully while Trump is President and the GOP holds the senate.

We got Biden out and we get Ruthie out too

 

[Blaster]

Six and a half. Roberts can be a wild card sometimes.

Roberts is a moron.

 

[HikerGuy83]

We got Biden out and we get Ruthie out too

Who is "we".....

And I am glad you admitted you ran the Celery Stalk off. Not the B.S. that he "stepped aside".

 

[MarcATL]

Well, we haven't really discussed expanding the court to give Trump the chance to add -more- justices, but as the Democrats have been talking about an expansion for several years, I suppose it could go on the table.

How many? 13? Match the number of circuit courts?

If it comports with your PRINCIPLES, then by all means, DO it.

 

[Arlette]

That would not be by protocol. We know that if the Progs won, they would have added at least three new judges. As a response Republicans should do it then. They will not though.

The Turtle hates Trump. And he's still the Senate majority leader. So there. It must get done

 

[M14 Shooter]

I asked a question:

Well?

He did step aside once he was informed of the alternative.

 

[whitehall]

The senate approves Supreme Court nominations and it looks like the senate majority will be republican with a republican president. Will the babe live another four years?

 

[HikerGuy83]

He did step aside once he was informed of the alternative.

Thanks for admitting the lie.

 

[HikerGuy83]

He did step aside once he was informed of the alternative.

And what is her alternative ?

You have no leverage.

Or should I say Pelosi has no leverage.

 

[Arlette]

She's ill and known to not be happy on the bench.
What do you think?
Will she leave the bench while Biden can still replace her?
Should she be pushed, like Biden was?

No. That would be difficult to explain but so what. We retire Ruthie and Sonya must last a few more years.

 

[MarcATL]

I asked a question:

Well?

However many YOUR principles dictate.

 

[M14 Shooter]

However many YOUR principles dictate.

Can't be honest, eh?
Gosh. I am surprised.

 

[Mashmont]

She has expressed no willingness to leave, and Joe Manchin said he would block any nominee the GOP doesn't like.

We have plenty of time to vet the replacements.

Manchin will be out of office in January.

 

[Rawley]

No matter how well you vet them, once they get that lifetime appointment, things can change
