As Donald Trump prepares for a second term, progressive groups are concerned about Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s future on the Supreme Court.
Some activists hoped she would retire to allow President Biden to appoint a successor before Republicans take control of the Senate in January.

I wonder if Biden is happy for his “friend”
