Conservative news flash! Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the oldest liberal-appointed Supreme Court justice, is under fire from radical left-wingers who want her to hang up her robes and retire. The lefties are sweating bullets, fearing that if she doesn’t step down, she might meet her maker while still on the bench.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal from the land of steady habits, Connecticut, is leading the charge, making it clear that he and his fellow Democrats wouldn’t mind if Justice Sotomayor made a swift exit. He even dropped some not-so-subtle hints, saying she should “weigh the competing factors.” Translation: Get out and make way for President Joe Biden to pick another lefty justice.

Blumenthal and his band of liberals are still scarred from the time Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing paved the way for President Donald Trump to nominate conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett, tipping the scales in favor of the right. They’re desperate to avoid a repeat of that nightmare scenario.
And get this, folks: Blumenthal didn’t stop there! He suggested that Sotomayor should think about the “larger national and public interest” and realize that there are plenty of capable liberals out there who could fill her shoes. Oof, the nerve of these lefties!
Now, the left-wing activists are piling on the pressure, practically begging Justice Sotomayor to throw in the towel while President Biden is still in the driver’s seat. They did the same thing to Justice Stephen Breyer not too long ago, and wouldn’t you know it, he eventually caved and retired. These radicals sure know how to twist arms!
The White House is keeping their cards close to the chest on this one, saying it’s ultimately up to Sotomayor to decide whether to call it quits. But we all know what team they’re rooting for. Justice Sotomayor, appointed by none other than Barack Obama, has been in the hot seat since 2009, making her the first Latina to sit on the Supreme Court.
