Democrats Debate Sotomayor's Future Amid Supreme Court Speculation

Senate Democrats are reportedly debating whether to pressure Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to resign before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, aiming to confirm a new justice while they still hold power. Concerns about Sotomayor's health, given her diabetes, are part of the discussion, but the feasibility of confirming a replacement in the limited time available is questioned. Some Democrats prefer focusing on confirming lower-court judges instead. The potential replacement mentioned is DC Circuit Judge J. Michelle Childs, who has bipartisan support.
