Justice Sotomayor should consider whether it's time to 'step down,' says journalist
Fox News
Journalist Josh Barro told CNN on Tuesday that he was "surprised" Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor was not "retired," after she said she was frustrated by the Court.
Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.
"I’m not sure there is a strategic intent behind it. I mean, it seems like a description of what her day is like. I find it a little bit surprising, given what Justice Sotomayor describes there about the stakes of what is happening before the Supreme Court, that she’s not retired. She's 69 years old, she’s been on the court for 15 years," Barro said.
"It’s quite possible the Democrats will lose control of the Senate in the next election and who knows how long it could be before there’s a next opportunity for a Democratic president to make a new appointment into the seat she sits in. Justice Scalia stuck around through the 2006 election, did not make it to 2017, which would have been the next opportunity," he continued.
