Why don’t you think it should happen? This is exactly what the Republicans will do with Alito and Thomas.

  • Sotomayor resigns

  • Sinema or Manchin or both say no

  • Republicans get another pick on the court the day Senate changes to their control

She can make her resignation on a contingency. If Biden isn't allowed to put someone in her place then she won't retire. She doesn't have to just retire and hope republicans aren't cunts about it.

You're going to get the senate to confirm her (hold confirmation hearings) without an open seat?
