This seems like a good day for Sotomayor and/or Kagan to say "I can no longer work with colleagues who are using their positions of power to undermine the greatest constitutional republic the world has ever known. I am resigning now so that the President can find someone else who can stomach this."

Thing is, now is a good time for one or both of them to retire anyway and be replaced by someone far younger while Dems have the votes. And today calls for a bigger reaction than “I dissent.”

Also, why do Dems keep insisting that WE resign when the other side shows how evil they are?

With Menendez at trial, Democrats are effectively down one senator. Manchin has already said he would not vote for any judicial nominee that didn't also have one Republican vote. In other words, Democrats could not confirm replacements on a party-line vote.

Remember when Obama didn’t get to appoint a justice “because it was too close to an election”?

I think they should make public statements but not that public statement.

I think the current career path is to stay on through multiple bouts of cancer so that you can have bumper stickers made of you.

I like the idea, but there is no way their replacements would be seated before the election... if the recent past is any indication
