Sotomayor: Retire early?

[M14 Shooter]

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

So be it, then - just means there's a better chance she will be replaced with a conservative justice.

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

I think overall Roberts has been a good choice.

 

[Arlette]

Thomas is going to retire for sure. Alito is very possible. Sotomayor is an outside possibility, so in reality, Trump could get three more picks.

I don't believe Thomas will retire now. He will get to work rolling gay rights back and argue that "gifts" from his friends are just that. Gifts.

 

[M14 Shooter]

I think overall Roberts has been a good choice.

Roberts is responsible for a couple disappointing rulings, but is usually right of center.
He's certainly better than Kennedy.

 

[Rawley]

I think overall Roberts has been a good choice.

For the most part yes. But he royally fucked us on Obamacare.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Evil people cling to power. Soto will cling.

 

[Mashmont]

Manchin will be out of office in January.

Right. This would take place before January.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Right. This would take place before January.

No way. Not enough time.

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?

It too late

See Merrick Garland

 

[Billiejeens]

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

No chance

 

[Billiejeens]

Right. This would take place before January.

No chance

Um, the Schumer Rule says that it becomes Trump's pick

 

[Billiejeens]

If she leaves I doubt they get the nomination through the Senate in time.

Literally no chance

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

Senate minority leader.
