I don't think this has anything to do with Latino politics, but I agree it would be a huge mistake to try to pressure someone that young off the bench

this whole ridiculous call for her resignation (she's only 69 ferchrissakes!) is from some fake story about her travelling with a medic on a plane. I saw the paperwork and it said "baggage (medic)" she was travelling with a MEDICal bag or MEDICine bag, it was an abbreviation, she's not travelling with a human medic!! We need Justice Sotomayor on the court for many years to come

@billieg826 I'll be more specific: Gorsuch is an illegitimate Justice and should resign... now that was fun, but let's return to reality, shall we?

do you really not understand the difference??

@LyonsM who says she's sick? she's a functioning diabetic and had been for decades. She's not sick.

RBG was 87, SS is only 69 - are we going to start the jettison of valuable justices every time one of them sneezes?? I don't support that

@KristaCarrington yeah, I said that 8 hours ago ... thanks for backing me up

@Justin-yb2yd so diabetics can't be justices?? or can be, but with an expiration date? What about epileptics? What about paraplegics? You obviously don't understand the U.S. Constitution

@janeclark6105 aren't you forgetting a sorta important point, sweetpea? you DEMANDING (with your capslock on, no less!) someone on the Supreme Court retire is not going to make it happen. You're living in fantasyland if you think it is. Here, let's try: Justice Gorsuch! I DEMAND that you resign immediately!! oops! nothing happened - imagine that!

@aulvinduergard9952 so we should replace valued Justices in their 60s with teenagers because we're soiling ourselves worrying about one of them dying???

because, as a diabetic, she had listed among her luggage on a recent trip "baggage (medic)" - a medicine or medical bag, right? This caused the undereducated internet to go crazy and say "she's travelling with a medic! she's travelling with a medic!" - a medical bag and a human medic are 2 different things, but this hysteria has been building and building for about a week with no one bothering to check the facts

Mitch is powerless - Dems are in the majority in the Senate now, that's their whole point. It's a misguided point, but not any more misguided than you thinking Mitch McConnell controls the approval docket for judges as the minority leader.

@MICHAEL-vy3ch yeah, I get how it works, that's no reason for Sotomayor to resign. Knowing Biden, he would probably nominate some middle of the road weakling because he wants to get some Republican "unity" votes so he can pretend like the Senate hasn't changed since he joined it in 1973 and we'd get stuck trading the excellent Justice Sotomayor for some weak tea Justice Pablum
