Wait until 2024, if Dems lose the Senate or presidency, yes, ram through a replacement in the lame duck session, otherwise they can wait an extra two years if they want

Furthermore, as only the second Jewish woman and the first Latina on the bench, it might seem racist and sexist to pressure them to retire when their white male colleagues sat on the bench far longer than them.

This would be a pretty idiotic leap in logic given 4 out of the 9 sitting justices owe their seats to white men retiring strategically. If there's one, singular area this argument wouldn't work, it's here

You think Manchin and Sinema would go for that, especially since they'll both likely have been unceremoniously booted by their parties, Sinema in a primary and Manchin in a general?

Sinema's vote probably wouldn't be decisive either way as Dems likely will have 51 seats after the Georgia runoff and I don't see why Republicans sending Manchin home would cause him to stop being a team player on Democratic judicial nominees, which has never been a problem in the past
