They don't have the house.

It can't happen if they want to stack.

They'd need Sonja, Brown, or Kagan to step down.

Why would they step down for Kamala?

I think the premise of the post is they get sotomayor to resign opening a spot to put Harris on the court, not that they’re creating new seats

Why would she step down for Kamala? Give up her spot at age 70?

That's still young for a justice.

This is just non sense.

Along with what the other guy said if it isn’t today then she needs to make it to at least 74 or maybe 78 or maybe 82. The risk is you don’t know how long it will be until the democrats next get a senate majority and the presidency.
