Should Sotomayor and Kagan retire in 2029 if we have a Democratic President and Senate?

r/

Or do we want to risk a repeat of what happened with Ruth Bader Ginsburg? To be clear, I’m far more concerned about Sotomayor than Kagan, but I do think it sets a good precedent for officials who are past federal retirement age to actually retire.

    Depends on the makeup of the senate.

    If it is solid 50+1/50 then yes. Change the fucking filibuster rules and stack the court.
