Sotomayor Faces Calls to Step Down Amidst Political Tensions
TL;DR Summary
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has no plans to retire despite some progressives urging her to step down so President Biden could appoint a successor before Donald Trump takes office. Sotomayor, 70, remains active and committed to her role, with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders supporting her decision to stay. The process of confirming a new justice is lengthy, making it unlikely for Biden to secure a nomination before the GOP gains Senate control in January.
