Debate Over Justice Sonia Sotomayor's Retirement

There is a growing debate surrounding the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, with calls for her to step down to protect a liberal seat on the court. The discussion is not about her qualifications but aims to avoid the situation that followed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing in 2020. Democrats are divided on this issue, with some urging Sotomayor to retire this year to allow President Biden to appoint a replacement and prevent a conservative justice from taking her place.
