I am cancel subscription, comrade! Asking Sotomayor to step down is hateful and pragmatic. You Never Trumpers trigger me when you ask someone to do something pragmatic. We're Democrats....not pragmatists! Okay, pal! Where's your call for Justice Thomas to step down? Sure it would be blatantly performative and serve no purpose, but still.......

Trump is the most unpopular candidate in recent memory, and we're happy running the second most unpopular candidate in recent memory against him. What do you want us to do? Run someone popular? That's West Wing fantasy, bub. We'll get to pragmatism when all other options are exhausted. Now, the threats of cancellation will continue until morale improves.

Also “cis white man asks Latino woman to step down!!!” seems to be a popular refrain. Completely missing the fact that if she becomes infirmed during Trump’s second term she’ll be replaced with Aileen Cannon

And what difference would that make? It’s trying to solve a problem that just doesn’t exist.

I doubt think AIleen will be appointed. She has already outlived her usefulness with the dismissal. Loyalty is a one way street with Trump

She’d be a sure-vote on the Supreme Court—very useful!
