Justice Sotomayor Rejects Calls to Retire, Plans to Stay on Supreme Court Amid Democrats' Pressure
Nov 10, 2024, 03:49 PM
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, at the age of 70, has decided against retiring from the Supreme Court despite calls from some liberals to step down while Democrats can fill her seat before the inauguration of a new president. People close to her have confirmed that she has no plans to retire. This decision comes amidst concerns that a lame duck President Joe Biden, who recently lost an election, would not be able to appoint a replacement if another Democrat balks. Senator Bernie Sanders has also publicly defended Sotomayor's decision to remain on the court, disagreeing with the calls for her to step down quickly to allow Biden to appoint a replacement before Donald Trump's potential return to office.
