Justice Sonia Sotomayor faces pressure to retire ahead of Trump taking office: report



Democrats are considering asking Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to resign quickly to prevent her replacement from being chosen by President-elect Donald Trump. They lost their Senate majority in the recent election, leading to discussions about replacing Sotomayor in the two months they have left in power. The concern is that Trump could appoint her replacement if her seat becomes vacant during his presidency. However, there are challenges to quickly confirming a new justice and potential opposition from some members. Democrats are also considering focusing on appointing lower-court judges before their time in leadership ends.
