Key word is Democrats. Democrats are asking Sotomayor to retire in order to maintain Democratic power in the courts. It's not an American issue, but a Democratic issue. Therefore Democrats can't demand Alito or Thomas to retire as they are Republicans.

@Zalis116 2 месяца назад

@@jmhorange Indeed; this is akin to Democrats calling for Stephen Breyer to retire during the first half of Biden's first term, while the Democrats held the Senate, since it was "more likely than not" that Republicans would recapture the chamber in the 2022 midterms. Fortunately, Breyer did so and allowed Biden to replace him with Ketanji Brown-Jackson. Obama's experience with Merrick Garland and the Scalia seat open shows that Senate Republicans, if in the majority, cannot be trusted to do the right/normal thing anymore. (There was even talk of denying Hillary Clinton the opportunity to replace Scalia, if she had won and Republicans had kept the Senate in '16.) And this is another reason for any wavering progressives to vote for Biden in 2024 -- if Trump wins, he may be able to replace Sotomayor to create a 7-2 conservative majority, and Thomas and/or Alito may retire to keep those seats in conservative hands for decades to come.

@LoganS-gf3zl 2 месяца назад

Absolutely not. The whole point of justices NOT being elected is to (in theory) keep them from making their judgments with an eye on re-election. There should be an enforcement mechanism for ethical behavior, and I’m definitely in favor of term limits. I also think no President should be able to appoint more than one justice per term in office. If the number of Justices fluctuates so be it.

@joancooney7724 2 месяца назад

@219Thompson 2 месяца назад

Because unlike the monarchy, the Supreme Court has no real power. They require the cooperation of both the executive and legislative branches for their decisions to mean anything-and there's several instances of both ignoring SCOTUS decisions and nothing happening to rebuke them-except perhaps the votes of the populace. Additionally, while I think the justices should be more willing to retire sooner than they have been, it's worth mentioning that the judiciary is intended to be insulated from public opinion at large-the only 1 of 3 branches that are intended to. Additionally, the Supreme Court requires approval from both of the other two branches to even be appointed-so your lazy comparison here is pretty far off center.

@cloud__99 2 месяца назад

Because the constitution has for centuries been interpreted to prescribe life tenure. Almost impossible anyone would ever change that. So it would take 3/4 of states to amend and the states don’t agree on anything. Everyone always just sees their short-term political gain instead of long-term benefits. Remember, they couldn’t even pass the amendment enshrining equal rights for women.
