For god's sake, people, give her some credit.

Leave her alone, it is not for us to decide. JFC Bryer was 84 when he retired in 2022 Bev54 Apr 2024 #11

This is not about the sex. It's about the probability of a death and who is President. usaf-vet Apr 2024 #16

She is 69 and she has diabetes, I have an aunt who had diabetes, who drank too much, did not take Bev54 Apr 2024 #23

At 77. I have diabetes and a heart condition. I hope to live into my nineties. But planning ahead I establish a trust. usaf-vet Apr 2024 #35

You're not making the point you think you are. Breyer strategically retired the first opportunity he got. tritsofme Apr 2024 #19

He was 84 she is 69 that is the point. Maybe instead of all this hand wringing people should get out Bev54 Apr 2024 #21

Name a Democratic-nominated Justice that Manchin and Sinema didn't support. brooklynite Apr 2024 #13

Okay SocialDemocrat61 Apr 2024 #17

Which one of those involves a Justice? Zeitghost Apr 2024 #25

So other nominees SocialDemocrat61 Apr 2024 #26

Not when the question is: Zeitghost Apr 2024 #27

And how many did Biden nominate? SocialDemocrat61 Apr 2024 #28

Was it limited to Biden? Zeitghost Apr 2024 #30

Still dishonest SocialDemocrat61 Apr 2024 #31

How is that dishonest? Zeitghost Apr 2024 #32

Manchin only had one in his tenure. SocialDemocrat61 Apr 2024 #33

Thank you. elleng Apr 2024 #14

I hope that this time next year I'm not going to have to say WE TOLD you so.. remember RBG could have! usaf-vet Apr 2024 #15

You are wrong about Ginsberg. Democrats controlled the Senate through 2015, Harry Reid would not have hesitated to nuke tritsofme Apr 2024 #18

I share your concern. All Mixed Up Apr 2024 #22

I am not sure we could get her replacement through the Senate right now...with Sinema and Demsrule86 Apr 2024 #24

Her retirement could be contingent upon the confirmation of her successor. tritsofme Apr 2024 #29

We have determined Biden isn't too old, Groundhawg Apr 2024 #34

Apples and oranges. Biden will only serve four additional years. Sotomayor's successor could serve 30. tritsofme Apr 2024 #38

I STAND WITH HER Groundhawg Apr 2024 #42

That's nice, still a poor comparison. tritsofme Apr 2024 #43

It WOULD have made a difference if RGB had retired during Obama's Scrivener7 Apr 2024 #36

Is there something new about her health? Freethinker65 Apr 2024 #37

No, it's just that June would be the natural time to announce retirement, so it's generating discussion as we approach tritsofme Apr 2024 #39
