- the best thing Sonya (and Elena tbh) could do for the Court and Joe Biden is announce their retirements next week. give him two new appointments in - hollywood big shot Jun 27, 07:41 18
  - Are Soto and Elana not voting the way Biden could guarantee with new justices? -- nm - Max Jun 27, 08:48 3
    - they're just older. the last thing we need is a trump presidency with older judges. biden should appoint children to the court - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 08:53 2
      - That's true. Weird time compression I guess has kept them in early 60s in my mind for the past decade. - Max Jun 27, 09:09 1
        
        Also, I've been hearing Breyer on the radio more recently, frustratingly forming some opinions but dodging 'how should they vote' questions - Max Jun 27, 09:16
  - I agree with this, given below. I don't know why they stay on the damn bench so long. if you care about deomcracy, retire. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 08:02 1
    - and, best case scenario, you just keep writing these 6-3 dissents into the void until they take you out feet first - hollywood big shot Jun 27, 08:06
  - The best thing would be for Thomas and Alito to die in a plane crash next week. -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 07:54 3

      - yes we would all shed so many tears. -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 08:07 1

    - awww poor Barry O, while the GOP took all the gloves off, he went ahead and put on several more pairs. -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 07:56

        you might lose Manchin but Collins/Murkowski generally make up for that (SCOTUS confirmations are more individualized to the nominee) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 27, 08:00 1
        
        Manchin's played ball on just about every nomination for judges. If it's a qualified nominee, he'd support. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 27, 08:03
    - Isn't the filibuster for SCOTUS noms dead? -- nm - ty97 Jun 27, 07:54 1
