Liberals Want Obama SCOTUS Judge Sotomayor to Resign Immediately
The party of pretentious joy is in chaos after its hand-picked candidate Kamala Harris suffered a humiliating defeat by President Trump just over a week ago. Instead of showing unity and respect to senior women, they now want one of the three liberal judges – Sonya Sotomayor – gone, and gone immediately.
Leftist publication The Daily Beast reported on November 8, just three days after Trump’s victory in the presidential election, that Democrats are “secretly fighting” over an emergency plan to remove Justice Sotomayor so as to be replaced with a younger liberal judge while Biden is still in office and has the authority to nominate a new SCOTUS candidate. The story wrote:
Senators are reportedly at odds over whether to put pressure on Sotomayor—the first Latina justice—to step down while Democrats still have the power to usher in her replacement.
The Democrats’ panic comes out of a lesson they learned from the death of liberal SCOTUS judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died in 2020, letting Trump appoint a third conservative – Amy Coney Barrett – to the Supreme Court. Now the liberals fear the same may happen to Sotomayor, who is 70 and diabetic, during the second Trump term that starts in a couple of months.
Some Democrat senators are reportedly against such a rush of a replacement and the lack of unity in the party leadership is making it a pipedream. Others have proposed possible replacements for Sotomayor. One name, as reported by Daily Express, is that of Washington D.C. Circuit Judge J. Michelle Childs. Liberal CNN commentator Attorney Bakari Sellers, who is a former South Carolina House member, suggested that Sotomayor could retire and let Joe Biden put Kamala Harris on the bench before Trump takes charge of the White House.
Leftist news platform The Hill discussed the Sotomayor replacement proposal on Monday such that the two commentators on the show disagreed over whether Sotomayor is too old to continue serving through Trump’s second presidency.
Both prominent conservatives and Democrats in leadership roles, however, have called the calls for goading Sotomayor off the bench a no-no. Republican Senator Josh Hawley of MO responded to The Daily Beast article about Sotomayor suggestion by posting on X, “This is not happening. No way, no how.”

Fox News reported on Monday (November 13) that Democrat Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin poured cold water over the hopes of desperate Democrats who want to replace Sotomayor by calling the idea unrealistic and nothing more than “idle speculation.”
So far, Sotomayor has given indication that she has any plans to step down.
In what universe would any dimwit expect a late term SCOTUS replacement to happen, much less be attempted?
Get your money back for this worthless story Joe.
You’re not dangerous. Just stupid. The democrats have plenty of time to appoint another judge. But getting her to retire might be a problem. Of course they might point out some things to her that won’t appear in print. And have a discussion about justice Scalia. Don’t underestimate the commiecrats. Just saying.
They might have time for her resignation and maybe time to nominate a far-left replacement, but no way before January 20. Remember, we still have the filibuster in place, plus even RINOs won’t fast track a rush appointment. Judiciary committee has to investigate the nominee, then public hearings with witnesses, then back to the committee, then to the full senate with floor debate–and if by some miracle of Democrat payoffs and threats, it makes it that far before Jan 20, that’s where the filibuster and debate let the nomination die a painful public death, even before the new Senate convenes to vote it down.
Not saying that Sotomayor doesn’t need to go but it’s not happening now.
Very good summary William. Thank you for telling the truth. You are exactly correct. It will not happen and most experts advise against it for exactly the reasons you shared. Well done!
Jim, no, I am probably dangerously stupid or stupidly dangerous.
But I am smart enough to realize there is no way in hell that Biden is gonna try to select a Supreme Court justice after pushing one out.
Not only would it be an impossible task, Republicans froze Obama out for nine months, there’s no profit in doing. What’s the situation today, it’s a conservative bench. I could replace a justice with God and it would still be a conservative bench.
This is just a stupid story written by a very stupid person. But he does get paid by for it by Joe
The Dems spend a billion to loose an election.
As a Dem appointed worthless judge, they should have just offered her
a Fat Check and in Dem fashion she would have been out the door
like the crap smell she is!
I have personally been involved in a case she gave opinions on.
Said one thing, found out Obama wanted it another way, and voted
Obamas way.
Do not tell me she is about the law.
She has been bought and paid for from day1.
Unlike the Dems last pics, she at least could explain what a woman is?
She is the smell coming from the bench!
The democrats have no shame nor dignity. This is a despicable act on their part, and it goes to prove that democrats are all about themselves and their party. Any democrat with common sense would get out of the party. They are committing what could almost be described as treasonous by taking out a life appointed Judge to satisfy their power and control. They have gone too radical and no sensible person should even be a member of the party. They have no scruples.
Judge Sotomayor should ignore them and get out when she decides it’s time. My wife is 75 and has diabetes. Judge Sotomayor has about two presidential terms that she can live out. She might even be around longer than those incorrigibles who want her to resign. And her departure still wouldn’t make a difference. it would still be a conservative leaning SCOTUS.
The system of the SCOTUS was not supposed to lean left nor right. The Judges should be interpreters of the Law, not rooters for the left or right. Democrats have it all wrong. And they talk so much about how President Trump is a danger to democracy. That is a big fable. A Lie!! Democrats are the ones who are a danger to democracy and to society. They are also an abomination to everything America stands for. They killed the American Spirit!
I agree with you that Sotomayor should stay on as long as he likes. I would refrain from using your name and mentioning your wife’s health conditions. You actually just created a HIPAA violation unless your wife has specifically signed a waiver stating that you can blast her health conditions all over the internet. Employers and health insurance companies look for this type of info. Just be careful friend is all I am saying.
Now my disagreement. I am an Independent. Dems want to replace her so that if something happens, then the SCOTUS becomes a 7 to 2 tilt in favor of right extremism. This is just a fact. Also, Trump appointed three extremist judges in his last term who have gone way farther than interpret the law. Just examine the recent presidential immunity case. So it would appear that both are all about their own ideology and their party. Both are shameless boobs and have it all wrong.
The reality is that the SCOTUS has for many years been politicized. This is why we need term limits and ethics reform in the SCOTUS. If SCOTUS is to be truly separate and co-equal branch, then they should run for election or be agreed upon by a committee of equal numbers from each party. And the term should be no more than ten years.
Manny, If I new you, we would be having a beer.
You are 1000% correct!
Except it hasn’t happened. Manny and D-man continue to believe in fantasy. Girls gotta do what a girls gotta do
You boys would kvetch about
Yes, Manny, we are frank danger. Live in fear. Live the fantasy.
Fyi; really manny and d; not one ok democrat? Must suck knowing you hate 50% of your brother citizens.
