WASHINGTON (April 11, 2024)— There’s been a recent dialogue and calls for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to retire. Sotomayor is the oldest of the three liberal leaning Justices on the Court. According to Yahoo!News, “Some progressives and political commentators, including Nate Silver and Josh Barro, have argued that Sotomayor, who at 69 is the oldest of three Democratic-appointed justices, should retire to avoid a repeat of what happened with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. “
For more context on the matter, please consider David Fontana, the Samuel Tyler Research Professor at the George Washington University Law School. Fontana is an expert on constitutional law and comparative constitutional law with a special take in general interest publications.
