Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has made clear she has no plans to step down, according to people close to her, despite calls from some on the left that President Joe Biden should be allowed to try to name a successor before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
The lesson of RBG is that people in their 80s with cancer don’t have great life expectancy.
That lesson does not apply to Sotomayor, who is 70 and (AFAIK) healthy.
