Summary
As Donald Trump prepares for a second term, progressive groups are concerned about Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s future on the Supreme Court.
Some activists hoped she would retire to allow President Biden to appoint a successor before Republicans take control of the Senate in January.
However, with Democrats’ narrow majority and opposition from Senator Joe Manchin, any replacement would face confirmation challenges.
Legal scholars and advocacy groups now view the window for Sotomayor’s retirement as closed and are focusing on confirming Biden’s remaining judicial nominees to lower federal courts before Republicans regain the Senate majority.
“and opposition from Senator Joe Manchin”
The most repeated phrase ever. At least that piece of shit will be gone, but now an actual Republican took his place.
Wonder who the new Manchin is gonna be.
I’m ultimately glad, he was giving democrats a bad name. We could afford that a decade ago, but we no longer can.
There’s a mild reshuffling of the parties happening, with the Tulsi Gabbards switching to red and the Adam Kinzingers switching to blue, and I’m fine with it. It’s about priorities. Which parts of your platform and beliefs are more important than the other parts?
Ugh, a future of having to choose between Russian agents and fucking tea partiers sounds bleak as hell, we’ve gotta be able to do better than that
