This is, of course, assuming our country survives the transfer (peaceful) of power resulting from a Trump victory. Of course, in 2017 it would be foolish to assume another 'Peaceful' Transfer of Power, as it turned out, there wasn't a 'peaceful' transfer at all.

If the Democrats are trying to replace Sotomayor, who is 69, then I think we need to pass a law requiring any serving senator or representative to retire at the age of 65. But then, I don't think Congress is supposed to be an old folks' home.

I think everyone over 60 should retire and go count their chickens, goats, greenbacks, or whatever.

I can imagine what a liberal court would be like. It would be a baby-killing, child-stealing, woman-raping court where mentally ill men could get away with anything their hearts desired, just as long as they signaled their twisted virtues.

Best be worried about the State judges, they have the same twisted mentality in blue states or counties.

Experts say the case against Alvin Campbell is a striking example of how police and prosecutors often fail to take action when victims report sexual assaults, potentially allowing serial rapists to remain at large.

Very good article. Respect all of the points, but, so sad that Supreme Court justices would not vote the way of morality & the constitutional law. Instead are swayed by party politics. Shame on All of them if so.

Justice Sotomayor. is the one Biden is most worried about retiring. The reason has not been made clear. Just hints.
