 Re: أهمية فوز دونالد ترمب بالرئاسة في الولايا (Re: Deng)

هل سيعيد التاريخ نفسه؟
في دوائر القانونين الليبراليين يتحدث عن فرضية أن تستقيل القاضية سونيا سوتوماير من منصبها في المحكمة الدستورية العليا من أجل أن يتمكن الحزب الديمقراطي من تعين قاضي/قاضية من صغار السن في منصبها، وهي من أصول لاتينية ولقد بلغت السبعين عاما ولكنها تتمتع بصحة جيدة، ولكن بعض القانونين الديمقراطيين يريدون من باقي المدة للأغلبية التي يتمتع بها الديمقراطيين في مجلس الشيوخ وبموجبها يستطيعون تمرير أسم قاضي أو قاضية جدؤدة لمنصب المحكمة الدستورية العليا. ولكن الأخبار تقول أنه قد رفضت تلك الفترة وتريد أن تستمر في منصبها.
فهل سيعيد التاريخ نفسه وتتكرر تجربة القاضية روز بدر قينسبرج، وهي التي رفضت الاستقالة رغم تقدمها في العمر ومعاناته مع المرض المتكرر، حتى وفاتها في المنصب، ولقد مكن ذلك الرئيس الجمهوري أنذاك دونالد ترمب من تعين قاضي محافظ يميل للجمهوريين في منصبها.
Sotomayor has no plans to resign from Supreme Court, sources say
Some Democrats hoped the justice would resign so Biden could pick a successor.

Despite urgent speculation in liberal legal circles and some talk among Democratic senators of potentially outright urging Justice Sonia Sotomayor to resign, sources close to the senior liberal justice have told ABC News that she is not expected to step down in the middle of the term because of the 2024 election results.
Sotomayor, 70, is in good health and a vigorous participant in the court's work. She is well below the average retirement age of 75, and her diabetes, which she has had since childhood, remains well-managed.
Justices are appointed for life and have generally chafed at public pressure campaigns to step aside. Among other considerations, bowing to public pressure could further politicize the court's image and would likely be a major concern, several court analysts have said.
Sotomayor, the first Latina on the high court bench, has embraced her role as the chief counterweight to the conservative majority and made clear she has plenty of fight left to give.
Speaking at Harvard in May, Sotomayor, who was nominated to the court by then-President Barack Obama, said that while “every loss truly traumatizes me in my stomach and in my heart," she chooses to "keep on fighting."
Forcing out Sotomayor, assuming she would agree to go, could be politically risky, and a successful confirmation before Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, logistically impossible. Those realities have seemed to be sinking in among some key Democratic players.
On NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, Sen. Bernie Sanders said that he doesn't "think it’s a sensible approach" when asked about whether he thought Sotomayor should be pressured by Democrats to step aside.
