I adore Sotomayor, but you have to take emotion out of it. Mehdi's got a point. If Biden loses, Republicans will get Thomas and Alito to step down and will replace them with very young justices, so that's TWO MORE seats 45 will have replaced on the SCOTUS. And he will pick someone young, so they'll impact policy for the next 20-30 years. If anything happens to Sotomayor - who travels with a doctor - that would be a 3rd justice 45 would added to the court in his term. You can't dismiss Mehdi's opinion here.

Justice Sotomayor has Type 1 diabetes. She can't take Ozempic to get rid of it, or any other medication. It requires insulin. It's so important to make that distinction between Type 1 and Type 1 diabetes, especially when Type 1 diabetics are most impacted by the insulin prices that have been so historically and diabolically high.

Mehdi's right! You can't remove Thomas.

It’s a hard pill to swallow but RBGs refusal to retire is, in part, why we now have a court that will be Republican majority for many years. All the most recent Republican appointed justices are under age 60 which means they will probably be there for 20 years. Not retiring at a politically advantageous time gives the opposition the opportunity to appoint another young justice that will be there for 20-30 years. It’s not personal and it’s a conversation worth having.

The problem lies in the fact that those judges are very greedy.

Consider the prolonged implementation of Obamacare; despite America's status as a superpower, it's puzzling that we lack many of the benefits enjoyed by developed countries.

This is what happens when you don’t inform yourself before discussing a topic. Sotomayor is the only justice that has requested to travel with a medic at all times. People don’t do that when it isn’t necessary. I believe Medhi has a point of concern that maybe people should wake up to if they don’t want a repeat of history with RBG.

The Democratic Party doesn't have the power to remove a republican Supreme Court Justice but they do have the power to adjust the Democratic ones who currently sit on the bench. Although Sotomayer is only 69, if Trump wins or the 2028 win (if GOP) and she falls ill, her seat will go to another GOP Justice for the next 40 years.

John Roberts often is the one conservative judge who sides with the liberal judges. He singlehandedly saved Obamacare. Thomas needs to go or one of the other older conservative Justices.

@@camy3018 Amy Coney Barrett was on a talking tour with Sonya Sotomayor recently. The height of hypocrisy: the topic of the discussions were civility and compromise. I mean the nerve of that woman to lecture anyone about compromise, is beyond me. What exactly has Amy Coney Barrett ever compromised in? Maybe she should be the one to "compromise" and retire?

@@JustinHenryfan That comment shows you have no idea about the decisions SCOTUS makes. You only know about the ones the liberal media focuses on just to criticise the conservative justices. Take half an hour of your time to look at all the SCOTUS decisions over the last few years then come back and tell us if Barrett is as unreasonable as she’s portrayed in the biased media.

Wow, why did they even cover this topic haha. Mehdi was specifically talking about how DEMOCRATS can not lose another seat on the bench, not which justices in particular should retire. They are way too obsessed with age, retirement is 65 for the rest of us. She's almost 70 with diabetes like many older Americans, but many older Americans die each year from that. It's not an attack on the character of a person what age they die at, it is what it is. But for government, we should be able to discuss where or not people in government are too old, because they impact our country.

It's not call stacking the courts. We have 13 judicial districts so we should have 13 supreme Court justices, end of the story. We only have nine, and several justices have to do two there should be one judge for each judicial district and that's it no more no less

Why does every thought or opinion that Alyssa expresses sound poll tested? She really, really wants to be liked, nothing more.

It's hard to serve when you have a high chance of passing. The reason you put young people in the courts is so they can potentially serve longer periods. Republicans create the game, while Dems worry about playing by the rules
