Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has made clear she has no plans to step down, according to people close to her, despite calls from some on the left that President Joe Biden should be allowed to try to name a successor before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
Even if she stepped down today, Biden wouldn’t be able to replace her. Makes no sense to force her out at just 70, she has plenty of time left.
What WILL happen is Trump will convince Thomas and Alito to leave, just like he did Kennedy, and replace them giving us a 5-4 Trump court for the rest of our lives.
