And the reality is that Manchin and Sinema wouldn't go for it in a lame duck session. Simple as that. And now that they're retiring, they have extra incentive to just not care outside of whatever financial interests are beckoning them beyond the Senate.

Agree with OP. The verbiage is weird. Didn't realize Sotomayor needed anyone's permission to do anything at all.

This isn't really an RBG situation, because RBG was very ill for a long time. It was known. It was pretended over (I will never ever forget videos of those "work out" routines. It was a bizarre break from reality that fascinates me to this day).

Sotomayor seems to be chillin. She's a great justice. I'm cool with her chillin if that's what she so chooses.
